Review of Sharknado (2013) by Kyle M — 18 May 2014

This movie is awesomely bad. This is the kind of movie people should watch (only should watch) at four in the morning or while drunk. I was hooked from the "there's a pod of 20,000 sharks heading our way.".

I bet the actors had a lot of fun, especially when, after their friends die horribly in front of them, they could calmly deliver such lines as, "Easy come, easy go" and (after Tara Reid's boyfriend's blood turns the floodwaters red) "Guess it's that time of the month.".

The filming was awesome, too. I lost count of the number of times a scene would have incredible rain/waves/deep flooding, only to be followed by the exact same location, only sunny/flat/barely any water. Oh, and can't forget the part where they're driving, and even though they're on a paved road, a shark SWIMS UNDER THE CAR. And is then shown in deep water, even though it's still under the car. Which is, you know, still on the road, even though the road is practically dry.

Also...

"Why did the car stop? It must be flooded." (And then the car randomly explodes.).

That wasn't even the worst of it, which is why this movie was so entertaining. So very, very campy, though I will admit that it's only possible to enjoy this movie if the viewer completely suspends belief, common sense, and any knowledge of the way the world works.

I gave this one five stars, not because it had even a passing resemblance to "good" but because this is the sort of movie people should force their enemies to watch during the day or their drunk friends to watch at night. Share the pain, people. Just share the pain.
