COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Toothsome Entertainment for a Crowd submitted by James C. Clark on November 29, 2013, 12:09pm It would be impossible to do this film justice in less than a thousand words, so I won't even try. It would be difficult, too, to say anything bad about a film that kept six viewers, of mixed ages from 24 through 70, hooting and hollering and laughing so hard that tears ran down their legs for almost a full hour and a half. But I will try to do that. This film is bad -- BAD! Dreadfully bad. Impossibly, hard to believe bad. You are forced to suspend belief in everything from weather patterns to the laws of physics to marine biology to exactly how low a sum of money a former star must have accepted to appear in this travesty. It is terrible with a capital T. Having said that, lurking within the stiff dialog and used-over-and-over scenes and the general dreadfulness of it all is one undeniable positive . . .

Yes, it has all the makings of a cult classic! People will probably return to midnight showings again and again, dragging along new friends each time, to experience what must be seen to be believed. This is the movie that will spawn a thousand jokes and spice up conversations for decades. A minor example: my wife said it is the kind of movie you can follow without hearing the dialogue or seeing subtitles. Yes, I said, but I would like to hear it for the character development. We laughed and laughed. See what I mean?

Weirdest movie ever submitted by Flying Sheep on June 18, 2014, 11:03am So to say that this movie made no sense would be giving it too much credit. This movie defied and defiled the very concept of making sense. Nothing in this film is believable or realistic, and it is one of the worst movies ever made.

That being said, it's awfulness is what makes it so charmingly unique and memorable. I love this movie in that it is so pathetic. It's worth checking out, because love it or hate it, you will not forget it.

???!!! submitted by xiwang on June 18, 2014, 3:05pm What a weird plot!

to have or not to have water submitted by hunterf on July 21, 2014, 5:59am The water in this movie is amazing, one minuet the street is flooded and the next it's dry, then you turn around and your house and only your house is flooded and collapsing but only an inch of water in your drive way? Wow!! Plus sharks and tornados!
