Wow! This movie starts off with several college friends heading out to their friend Sarah’s hide-out, a lake house where they envision water skiing and partying the weekend away. I say “wow” because the movie slowly but surely becomes more and more grounded in fantasy rather than reality. After a main character loses an arm to a shark, one of Sarah’s friends, Nick, who happens to like her, runs back and jumps into the water and retrieves the missing arm. But as a few more casualties take place the sharks start doing all kinds of impressive acrobatics. One fellow is even eaten by one as the shark leaps up from the water to devour the man with jaws and teeth that looked 50 feet tall. The ski-doo becomes a casualty right along with the man.
This movie starts off with believability and then soon becomes a showcase for the 3D effects. That’s too bad. On top of this, we have the use of strong language, rear male nudity and sexual innuendos, and lots of blood in this violent picture. If you’ll pardon the expression, this one “jumps the shark” not far into the film. You can find a better movie than this to watch with your family. We can’t award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this one.
