[ Dave said he was going to do it. And here it is.
YOU ARE NOW WATCHING A MOVIE. It's exactly 1 hour 35 minutes long. This is a romantic lifetime movie - only the characters are all sharks (the actors are wearing cheap shark costumes) They are not in water nor is it ever referenced that they're sharks outside of a few puns. They're just sharks. The dialog can be considered really funny and it's clear this is a satirical work. The dialog can also be considered cringe worthy depending on one's sense of humor or if taken too seriously. The acting spans from being great to awful. The main female lead is intentionally played like she's reading her script off cue-cards and at one point actually pulls out the script from behind her fin and corrects a line she said wrong. The male lead could be an Oscar-worthy performance had the material not been completely ridiculous. The side-characters contain the stereotypical BFF, the leads' boss/a hammerhead shark, the parents, a grumpy neighbor, three competing love interests, a rival they keep saying is a love interest, Doctor Dorsal - who shares the grim news, a baby shark (played by a stuff animal), and a few others.
It takes a bit to notice but every shark is played by Dave using different silly voices. One scene has every character on camera at the same time somehow. Plus a few extras in the background (also all Dave in a shark costume.) Movie magic?
The last 26 minutes are all animated, likely because he couldn't figure out how to have that MASSIVE EXPLOSION in the big death sequence without actually blowing something up AND/OR didn't want to kiss himself when it came time for the leads to do that. It's really poorly animated/drawn in his unique style. The movie ends of course with "Fin." The ending is left open-ended for interpretation.
Love it or hate it, at least the original soundtrack was amazing. ]
