Storyline
Dory is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.

I was super disappointed in this film, given that it was rated 4.5
stars. It had way too much of Dory. I wish I had a nickel for every
time she mentioned she has memory problems; I'd be stinking rich. Trust
me, the bad memory shtick gets very old after a short time.
If you love Dory, yes you will like the movie. But if Dory all the time
is a bit much for you, you will get bored by this fast. The new whale
characters just were not very interesting either. The 2 grand-kids
liked Finding Dory OK, but I doubt if they would want to see it again.
This is not the first time I've been disappointed in a highly-rated
kids film, 5 stars just doesn't mean the quality it did in the past.
