Spring Break Shark Attack (2005)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I do like this sort of film when done well, but I should have known better. Seeing as it is syfy whose best work was just average at best. This movie was painful to watch, and although the cast are talented the only cast member to acquit themselves well is Shannon Luccio, who is pretty and charming.That aside, Spring Break:Shark Attack is a very dull movie in my opinion. The film is not that well made, the editing in the attacks especially is rushed, and the effects, yes even the excessive gore shown, are incredibly fake.The script is appalling too being smothered in the smelliest of all cheeses, the story is pedestrian in pace, has no tension and the ending was such a big letdown in how harebrained it was it made my head hurt. The characters are largely clichéd and the direction is sloppy. The worst part though were the sharks and the attacks. The attacks are abysmally done, severely lacking in atmosphere and suspense, and the sharks are like the rest of the effects, ridiculously fake.Overall, painful excrement is what I call this movie. I did try to keep an open mind, but there were so many things bad with this movie I struggled to even do that. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This is probably the worst thing I've ever laid my eyes on. How is it possible that mankind can make something this bad. The plot sucks, the effects suck, the overall acting sucks and the shark scenes seem to be clips from discovery channel. And the supposedly "bad guy" in the film is nothing but an irritating, sly, greasy, seemingly Greek fellow who looks like he has soaked himself in olive-oil. I have seriously never seen anything this awful. Do not EVER, even consider to see this movie. After half an hour you will have a malevolent feeling of hatred, which will slowly build up inside you if you choose to continue watching the movie.

Bad script, bad acting (with some exception) and BAD FX!!! Watch the scene in the end where the three main characters are out on the boat and when the Danielle character drops the "red plastic balls" in the water a shark suddenly appears BUT you clearly see TWO HANDS controlling the shark! WTF!?!?! Watching this scene in slow motion is the best laugh to get a dull party going.The boat-ending is also a clear rip-off from Jaws - although Tigersharks are dumb enough not to jump up on the boat, they just band their heads in it.When you see shark-fin above the water they look huge like great white sharks and underwater-scenes they are baby aquarium-sized...clearly faked and pasted in at post- production from a animal planet show or something.

I know it's a long shot but, just in case ANYONE ever wondered what a crossover between "Dawson's Creek" and the seventeenth sequel to "Jaws" would look like, here you have the answer! "Spring Break Shark Attack" is a pathetic and totally embarrassing TV-production that even makes recent shark-movie disasters like "Shark Attack" and "Megalodon" look like genuine masterpieces. This film is worse than you can imagine, with shallow characters, clichéd situations, ridiculous dialogues and some of the worst acting performances in cinema history. It's actually pretty funny, but the painful truth is that it wasn't at all meant to be funny. A fine selection of the most empty-headed, but nevertheless ravishing-looking teenagers meet up at a beach house in Florida to spend a spring break filled with parties, sunbathing and meaningless sex orgies. Little do they know, however, that a naughty businessman of the lesser popular East coast is luring bloodthirsty sharks to the beaches, hoping that tourists would come his way. Things get just a tad bit out of control when hundreds of hungry tiger sharks literally sink their teeth into the partying students. Danielle and her friends have to stop wondering for a second about which bikinis they should wear and focus on how they'll get back to school in one piece, once spring break is over. The very few sequences that involve shark attacks are hilarious, simply because footage of running and screaming girls is altered with scenes from National Geographic documentaries that are simply edited into this movie! We get an underwater close-up from a shark and then we see how people hysterically run towards the beach, pretty much like in those cheesy and low-budget Italian Jaws rip-offs from the late 70's/early 80's. The rest of the script is textbook teenage nonsense, with beauty queen contests, boyfriends cheating on their girlfriends and losing virginity at a drunken party. Only minutes after an intense shark incident at the open sea, the girls worry about their hair and nails again. Pure guff.
