If you've seen the movie trailer, you should know what to expect.
14 July 2008
I picked up a copy of this film over the weekend. All I could recall about it's original theatrical release was the trailer. It depicts looped underwater footage of a swimming shark with protruding teeth, while a disembodied voice delivers a cartoonish, "goofy" laugh. This alone was a red flag. Little did I know many months later, I would be convulsively laughing within the first 10 minutes of this movie in the comfort of my living room. I've seen several bad reviews of this film and many reviewers made valid points. The production values, script and dialogue are all ill conceived. At times it seems like a hodgepodge of outtakes and improvisation but this doesn't necessarily make it a bad movie. It delivers on the lowest level of the low brow humor. The characters are beyond moronic. Their behavior and verbal interactions are subsophomoric. If this is your type of humor by all means pick up this movie. It never pretends to be what it isn't. No pretense, no lessons to be learned, just a movie about a group of idiots on an quest to make the audience laugh. Most of the time they succeed! Anyone who saw the original theatrical trailer should've known what to expect.
