Is this a good film? No. Is it a bad film? Yes. Is this a film that entertains and you would say to a friend "You've gotta see this movie!"? In my opinion, Yes. Let's look on the positive side of things. The lead actor John Barrowman looks like a Tom Cruise stand in, and carries this light weight movie well. The lead actress Jenny Mcshane is not unpleasant to look at - I found myself having a rude thought or two whenever she appeared on screen, the minx! - even though she seems to lack the ability to not smile. There are some ridiculously over the top shark attack scenes towards the end of the movie, that although lacking in any real sense of suspense, direction, or even semi decent effects, entertained the hell out of me! And it's hilarious watching some of the actors trip and stumble over their lines, as English is quite obviously a second language to some of them. There is of course that pick up line - "I'm feeling kinda wired..." - and any film that has someone say to a shark, "Up yours, ass-hole!" while flipping it the finger, right before he is about to be eaten, has got to be worth watching! And I loved the guy taking the life jacket off his own Mrs, jumping in to the water and straight... Well, you can guess what happens next. This a movie best watched with a group of pals, late at night, with plenty of lager, a huge kebab, and your mind switched to "dumb". Cause that is what this is...Big, dumb fun!!
