function only a an apt definition for hot mess and the reef be really just an awful movie . the script and the voice acting and and the animation be not even a notch above film school amateur hour . in fact and a conscientious mouse jockey in his mom basement could probably compose a 5 minute cgi short on his mac with more go for it . the plot do not matter a the similarity between it and find nemo and and shark tale be so obvious that helen keller could find them . the glare deficiency in the quality of cgi and screenplay and voice acting and the feeble rip off of other far more capable screen story make one wonder why someone at some point do not come to their sens and ditch this project long before it ever make it in the can . it try for some joke but fail every time . in fact and i do not think i laugh once . even purposefully bad groaner fail to elicit a chuckle . the pun be so deliberate and juvenile it baffle that it could have pass muster to any adult sensibility . but and then again and even howard the duck get make . one of the key reason there be no laugh be that there be no good voice act . there be zero personality attach to these character . everyone involve be phone in it and probably go for a paycheck to cover their christmas fund . movie like this make you appreciate the thoughtful craftsmanship of pixar movie . it make you realize how vital the story and the composition of the script be not to mention and of course and their vastly superior cgi animation . even relatively bad cgi movie like shark tale and madagascar have ton more personality and skill behind them than the reef do . a desperately tire a i be of all these awful and cheaply make cgi movie about animal and insect and or both and at least most of them have some basic charm and a few joke you may actually laugh at and thus in some measure vaguely redeem themselves . the reef and however and have no redeem value at all . best to leave this one alone a watch it will merely be torture .
