Movie propaganda

Behind every little fish is a great white lie.

Oscar (Will Smith) is a fast-talking little fish who dreams big. But his big dreams land him in hot water when a great white lie turns him into an unlikely hero. At first, his fellow fish swallow Oscar's story hook, line and sinker and he is showered with fame and fortune. It's all going along swimmingly, until it starts to become clear that Oscar's tale about being the defender of the Reef is all wet. Oscar is finding out that being a hero comes at a Market Price when his lie threatens to make him the Catch of the Day. Now he has to tread water until he can get the scales to tip back in his favour again.

Theatrical report

Shark tale is fun with plenty of colour and movement but it's not as good as Finding Nemo, which is what you want to know. The worst part is that all the best under-the-sea jokes have already been done. Still, you can watch either any time you need a baby-sitter.
