The Story
Set in a reef run by a mob of gangster sharks, the film tells the story
of a fish named Oscar who becomes a neighborhood hero when he is mistakenly
believed to have killed the son of the head shark, Don Lino. Don Lino's
second son, the vegetarian Lenny, decides he can also use his brother's
death to his advantage.
It's a real underworld with De Niro as Don Lino,
the Vito Corleone of the sharks, a mafia godfather
with a fey son, who, as a 'coming out' vegan, doesn't
look like a good candidate to take over from dad.
Oscar (Will Smith) is a little fish caught up in
his own lies and the machinations of the gangsters.
His resolve to do the right thing is frequently
neutralized by the sea siren Lola (Who else but
Angelina Jolie?) but aided for good by the virtuous
Angie (Renee Zellweger).
