Review of Sharknado

Sharknado (2013 TV Movie)
2/10
A film so bad that it is good
1 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
From the prestige Asylum Films comes another one of their films with a bad premise and laughably simplistic characters with no depth. The difference? This film is so bad that it becomes entertaining to watch.

As a hurricane picks up sharks from the Pacific Ocean, it continues to head for California. There, a small band of survivors must try and escape and find the leader of the group's son in all of the chaos.

Using bad effects and cuts to actual sharks captured on film by other people, the sharks are jokes in this film and takes away and tension that they might bring. But whatever, it is funny to watch a bunch of sharks being tossed through windows and into streets to eat people.

There is a lot of setup with no pay off or things that just sort of happen. One of the characters (Cassie Scerbo) is in love with the main character but instead is with his son in the end without any explanation which just comes across as random.

While extremely corny and bad, you can enjoy laughing at the awful animated sharks, the bad dialog and characters, and the strange ideas that the characters have during the course of the film.
