I came across this spoof of the standard "an underwater beast is eating all the tourists" film on Netflix, so I feel no regret: I did not have to pay extra for it. But I am not kidding, the film is better appreciated under the influence of alcohol-induced euphoria.
Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt and Betty White have fun here. Either that or all these talented actors are slumming. Which I doubt.
This genre began way back with The Creature from the Black Lagoon and was best done by Stephen Spielberg in Jaws. The principal conceit is that lake or sea water conceals danger -- you never know what's gonna jump out and get you.
Sit back, enjoy and don't take the film seriously.
