Fun and entertaining - Shark Tale Reviews

Some of these critics are saying that Lenny is gay. I thought he was more like the character of Lou Costello from Abbott and Costello. He's kind, childlike, timid, and unaggressive. Unfortunatly, some bigots mistakenly attribute these characteristics to gay men. After reading all of these reviews, I expected to have my kids ask me about Lenny's sexual orientation. Now that we saw it, there's no way that they would make that leap. I think only homophobics would read into this movie that much. . . The same people who won't let their kids watch Seseame Street because they think Bert and Ernie are a gay couple. It also seems like the negative reviewers dislike the "Urban" aspects of the film - namely ETHNIC. Maybe some white-breads don't want to expose their kids to African and Italian-American people. Their loss. There ARE important messages for kids and adults -parents should love their kids no matter what and, fame and greed are unfulfilling.
