Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother. They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe. The charade begins....

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is a godsend, sent down specifically to entertain adults and children alike. It stands with some of the greatest movies of all time, and absolutely dominates Finding Nemo - which is substandard to this film. (And every other film; it's awful.) I would recommend this to literally everyone, whether you enjoy looking at fish or not. In addition to this, Lola. What a foxy specimen. You will definitely adore this film, it is possibly the best title ever released.

For some reason this was put on for the class to watch at some point when I was at the middle school. That's the only reason I've seen this movie. I was actually a bit scared and confused as to why the animation looked so bad and why everything is so poorly done. I would not recommend watching this movie under any circumstances.

Shark Tale is one of those movies that you can tell is just a thinly veiled excuse to make money. The problems with the film are pretty obvious. The film has all these big names that you know they only got to draw in big audiences, and there are a bunch of really bad puns. I'm not even kidding about that. The puns in this movie make A Bee Movie look funny. Oscar (Will Smith) is a cool hip hop fish in the underwater city, works at a "whale wash", and he's being admired by his coworker Angie (Renee Zellweger). But not all is well for Oscar as he owes money to his boss Sykes (Martin Scorsese) and he can't pay it off. Well Oscar inadvertently meets a vegetarian shark named Lenny (Jack Black) after it looks like Oscar killed Lenny's brother Frankie (Michael Imperioli). This is bad news because Lenny's father is the shark mafia boss Don Lino (Robert De Niro). Oscar and Lenny then make it look like Oscar killed Lenny making him the shark slayer so Lenny can run away and start a new life. Spoiler alert! We have to go through the liar revealed story again. I understand why they put that in kid's films but it get's old and predictable. But the real problem with Shark Tale is the idea. The story isn't done very well and you know right from the get go that this was an excuse to make money and throw in some pop culture references. Think about it. When you see the characters, you don't see the characters you just see the actors playing them. You now they choose them because of the names and nothing else. Smith's character is also annoying and to be honest a bit of a jerk. There are some moments when the film is enjoyable, particularly with De Niro and Scorsese, but even here you can't shed the light that you are watching De Niro and Scorsese. Honestly I really don't recommend it.

Oscar (Will Smith) is a tiny prey fish working at a Whale Wash. Like everybody else, he cowers in fear of the sharks. In a freak accident, he survives a shark attack, and everybody believes that he actually killed the shark mobster's son. He encounters the shark mobster's other son Lenny (Jack Black) who is a vegetarian and they concoct a great scheme to increase his reputation as the Shark Slayer.First off, I don't like Oscar's character. Second I don't really like the Godfather motif. The animation is OK for the era, but I don't really like their faces either. The automatic comparison is to 'Finding Nemo' from a year earlier. The one word I describe Nemo is joy. This one leaves me feeling the blues. Oscar is a cynical fish, and his well being is of little importance to me. Also none of it is funny. It's just a bunch of quirky fish equivalence to the real world.
