2.5/4

This animated tale of a grumpy finboy is as bland as blueberries, yet some wonder if sad Mr. Fish can inspire suicidal thoughts. Nah. Positive messaging swims will all these fishes.

“The Pout-Pout Fish” takes full advantage of the underwater population and has a clever-enough screenplay and a terrific vocal performance from Amy Sedaris as a trio of dolphins who aren’t as nice as they look.

While the film has many great characters and lessons, when it diverts focus from the main pair, it tends to bring momentum to a screeching halt. If you can hang in there, it will be rewarding but drink coffee.

It was colorful and entertaining for my 7 year old. There was only one crass joke and many lessons to be learned. It does not follow the book at all though there are nods to it at times. Also I felt it was a tad long for kids as mine began to loose focus and squirm in his seat.

The movie was adorable. Some really funny lines for adults -- kids may not get but did not affect the movie. Grands loved it!
