  Fishy fun...
  
  It's not Shark Tale, or Finding Nemo, nowhere near as clever or sharp witted (and of course original), as they were. There were split opinions on this, ... read more »

  Boring, lazy, amateurish rubbish
  
  This is a waste of an hour and a half of your life. My kids got bored after 15 minutes, the animation looks awful, and the voice acting is dreadful.

  Not in the same class as its kin
  
  This is not a patch on Finding Nemo or Shark Tale, but it is rather sweet and the characters are nice. The animation is a bit off putting though.

  Nonesense and Rubbish
  
  Rip off from the great 'Finding Nemo' I managed 30 mins before wanting to go to the local pet shop and kill all the goldfish inside.

  The most boring kids movie of all times
  
  The Reef, boring, slow and even the kids didn't like it, the jokes are lame. Questionnable plot. Massive waste of time.
