Cody: No. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I wished that thing into existence. I don't know, I was just angry.
Peter: What are you talking about, son?
Cody: I drew her and she came to life and now she's hunting everyone in our family down.
Peter: No, this is not your fault. All right. Hey, this is classic global-warming. Non-indigenous species species roaming into unfamiliar territories. It happens all...

No need to waste time endlessly browsing—here's the entire lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
"Santa Jaws" sounds preposterous, and it is.
But it's also exactly what it needs to be.
The director (Misty Talley) was able to keep this together pretty well instead of sending it straight off the rails, and managed to include the appropriate camp-to-family ratio that makes Christmas movies work. The script was creative. Some of the casting was excellent (Ritchie Montgomery, Haviland Stillwell, Hawn Tran all did great character work here). The result was a movie that is every bit as family-friendly as "The Meg" aspired to be without losing any of the qualities that make the best of the Sy-Fy shark movies work.
Yes, it's still a "bad shark movie". It's as ludicrous as the title suggests, but it still managed to be a really good, really fun "bad shark movie".
7.5/10. Bravo!
