Rating: 1/5 Panther Paws
When a movie like this comes out, you don’t really know what to
expect, do you? It could be a hilarious, silly shark and tornado movie,
or, it could just be really, really bad. Sometimes it depends how you
look at it. The story is about a guy who owns a bar on a beach in LA,
divorced, and everything is going alright until, somehow, wait, is that
right? A giant herd of sharks get picked up in a tornado?! There are so
many things wrong with that statement.
The guy decides to leave his bar, and drive away with one of his
employees and a customer to go find his wife, daughter, and son to save
them from the most unrealistic event in the history of existence. It
seems as if this movie takes itself too seriously, when there’s a whole
cliche emotional scene about whether or not he still cares about his
family, or something like that. It really gets boring during those
scenes because we came to watch sharks jumping out of tornados to eat
people, not an emotionally distressed father. We didn’t want anything
deep or thought-provoking, that’s not what its about, instead, we wanted
the movie to know that it’s a cheaply made b-movie, made for tv, just
to get tons of viewers, but it seems as if only the audience could make
fun of it.
I would have loved this movie a whole lot more if the creators
could just have made it fun, silly, and entertaining. Every once in a
while, I did see that. There was one hilarious scene where someone fell
out of a helicopter, right into a falling shark’s mouth, then later,
after a series of events, was somehow rescued, totally intact. This is
what I was looking for, so, make more of it in the sequel, PLEASE! It
stars a very weak cast of Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, John Heard, and
Cassandra Scerbo.
