Title: Taken with a grain of salt
Review: First off, you cannot take this movie seriously. It is what it is. This should be evident in the opening sequence of the movie when you watch a movie made by Steve Zissou with "real" fish that are flagrantly fake. In the movieverse they are real, but in reality they're just goofy. This sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Dark humor with deadpan jokes. If you get it, you really get it. This movie comes across as funny due to the fact that the characters take, with seriousness, all the stupidity going on around them. I don't want to paint this movie as just a screwball comedy, because it does have a plot, a point, and a message as well...but it's definitely worth watching. The DVD extras are also good and definitely do what a DVD should do, which is add content to the original movie that makes shelling out the cash worthwhile.
