Wow! I've seen terrible movies before, but this one took the cake. The complete disregard for seriousness that the producers showed by adding a scene in which the "Desperate Housewives" get eaten by sharks made me cry with glee.
To put it bluntly, this is definitely a terrible movie. No question about it. But once you look past its (very) rough edges, you find an entertaining movie that makes you laugh. From the horrible special effects, to the hilarious death scenes (Oh man, I'm gonna windsurf right into the mouth of a shark, OUCH!), this movie has left me anticipating a DVD release. The acting is so bad, and the dialogue is like something written by a fifth grader. In one scene the resident scientist remarks about how there are bites on turtles by a large sea predator, like...sharks. Or something to that effect, I mean its just so ridiculously bad that its good.
CBS needs an Emmy for courage to put out something like this. Its the best TV movie I've seen in a long time, and also one of the worst. I can't wait to watch it again.
