BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a young woman named "Danielle Harrison" (Shannon Lucio) who wants to join her two friends, "Karen" (Bianca Lishansky) and "Alicia" (Genevieve Howard) in southern Florida for Spring Break. Unfortunately, her father is dead set against it so in order to be with them she lies to him on where she is going. Once she gets there she is slightly startled at how aggressive some of the guys are. But what nobody realizes is that the guys aren't the only sharks looking for fresh meat in this particular area. At any rate, rather than disclose any more of the film and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I was mildly surprised with the way the director (Paul Shapiro) managed to combine the flavor of Spring Break with the horror of a shark movie. Now, obviously being a "made-for-television" movie this film doesn't include any profanity, nudity or sex. Even so it still manages to maintain some suspense here and there. Likewise, having the three actresses mentioned earlier certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way. In summation, while this surely isn't the best "shark movie" ever made it still wasn't that bad. That said, I give it a rating of average.

TheUnknown837-1 If it were not for the abysmally banality of the shark attack sequences, which are some of the worst I have ever seen, and for the ridiculous explanation at the denouement of the picture and all that leads up to it, "Spring Break Shark Attack" might have ended up being a merely passable made-for-television creature feature. Heck, it might have even ended up at being flat-out mediocre instead of a dead bore as it is. But it must be given more credit than the norm of this genre. It is much more ambitious than over creature features; they're at least trying at some point in the picture. It's rather amusing. In most movies like this, when we're away from the monster, we feel as lifeless as a piece of driftwood. When the creature arrives, we're still bored, but usually amused by the awful special effects and poor directing. Well, here, it's a little of the opposite. When there are no sharks, the movie is amusing and when there are sharks, it's as dull as dishwater.They were at least attempting to build a good human story here. Our protagonist is played by Shannon Lucio (in a good performance) as a normally obedient high school graduate who decides to become a rebel and go to Florida on spring break against her father's will. She joins up with friends, ogles at the local beach stud (Riley Smith), tries to avoid a lascivious, sex-starved rival (Justin Baldoni), and then...well, you guessed it, evades man-eating sharks. Yes, around this time, a group of sharks begin to attack the beach on spring break.I may be crucified by some, but I cannot deny that there were some parts of this movie that I did enjoy. None of them had to do with the sharks, however. They had to do with Shannon Lucio, who is quite good in the movie, and her character and what she goes through. Her relationship to her romantic interest is banal and boring, but there are some good elements such as her attempt to bury the hatchet with her brother, who is studying at a seaside university, and oddly enough the scenes with her and Justin Baldoni almost work. These scenes don't always work, but you can feel the refreshing air where the filmmakers were at least attempting to make a good story. Unlike a great many "Jaws" rip-offs, where you get the sense even the makers of the movie couldn't have cared less.So when the movie's out of the water, on the beach, it's not good, but not too bad either. At these moments, it might have had a 5/10 going for it. But then there's the shark attacks, which are so abysmally bad, and there are so many of them in the last half of the movie, that they pull everything under along with their screaming victims. The cardboard and rubber fins painted gray are utterly awful and the phony screaming and thrashing of their victims so cheesy that one cannot even laugh at them. Honestly, nobody expected a real scare from a movie called "Spring Break Shark Attack" but at least a good laugh here and there. Here, no laughs. The open time I opened my mouth at the sharks was to yawn. We also question why the sharks are congregating on this particular beach at this particular time and when we do find out why, the explanation the movie gives is so harebrained and boneheaded and deprived of logic (even on the standards of this genre) that it produces nothing more than an exhausted yawn.Perhaps this film would have fared better had it been a beach story with no sharks or shark attack back-stories. Shannon Lucio is pretty and quite good in her role and there are some fine supporting performances, including two by great actors Kathy Baker and Byron Brown, but ultimately the movie is just too banal, too clichéd, and too dull to recommend even without the sharks. Coupled with them, it sinks lower on the scale. Ambitious as it is, "Spring Break Shark Attack" is nevertheless an unfortunate failure.

MartianOctocretr5 As campy as the title tells you it'll be.A bunch of co-eds with a hodge-podge of teen soap opera back stories go to south Florida for Spring break. Unfortunately, some hungry tiger sharks are on Spring break too, and they aren't there for the beer, if you catch my drift. Meanwhile there's a dumb wolf player guy knocking out the lead character with a date rape drug, and drawling out stupidly concocted lies. Gee, you'll never guess who ends up as a Big Mac in the shark infested waters.They waste a lot of time showing us the wolf guy annoying everybody, and eventually get around to showing some sharks. Occasionally, some extras show up to be immediately on the menu, to keep your interest. The sub-plots give at least some substance to the lead girl and the boat rental guy, and some others to a lesser degree.More action than really expected. The shots of the girls are framed Bay Watch style, and there are some unintentionally dumb scenes. The big attack scene is a decently shot highlight moment, except for some cardboard "fins" casually drifting by the screaming swimmers. Still, not a bad watch, after all.

godzilla-38 Seriously, this movie is THE worst I have possibly ever seen (Except for the blood). I mean C'MON! Those didn't even look like Tiger Sharks! I am a Shark movie FANATIC, this movie is a disgrace! Girls watch it for guys... Guess what guys watch it for, GIRLS IN BIKINIS! I thought 'Shark' when this was on TV! (*SPOILER*) :NUTSHELL: Tycoon wants more money, chums beach, sharks come, MOUNTAINS IN Florida, sharks eat everything for SOME reason unknown to man, people find out who dun it, OMG HAWT PPL, people kill sharks, THE END.In short, your average shark movie rip-off making everybody STILL believe sharks are cold blooded killers.
