Extreme Fishing DVD

Advantages: Fabulous characters!
Disadvantages: None that I can see!

...Hi fellow Ciao reviewers! I'm back with another film review on the latest Disney film I've watched...Finding Nemo. For those of you who aren't really sure about watching this movie, I've started in the usual fashion with a few well chosen quotes from those critics!
