ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Represents solid family entertainment, and will find a special place in the hearts of those who adore the "Godfather" movies and the TV series "The Sopranos."Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Story is everything and Shark's is rather thin and soupy, despite the winning improvisational skills of stars Will Smith and Jack Black.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
Full of invention, but under the colorful icing is a slightly stale cake.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
It's stale, like something you wrap in yesterday's newspaper.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The movie lacks a port of entry for young viewers -- a character they can identify with. All of the major characters are adults with adult problems like debt, romance, and running (or swimming away from) the mob.Read Full Review »

The film has a hectic, sitcom air and a full-of-himself hero who is as likely to grate as to ingratiate.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
It does not have as much invigorating freshness as audiences have come to expect in computer animation.Read Full Review »
