Where do I start?

Let's see,

A lousy script with a trope filled plot.

A badly done CGI shark that goes from 5-10 ft in length, depending on the scene.

That a shark this size, does the amount of damage it does; was any research done at all? After the first kill, unless that shark was on some sort of vendetta, I don't see it going to all that trouble.

And speaking of size, how did it get through that tiny hole in the basement?

And, how did the water level reach the ground floor, when the water wasn't that high outside, AND not come under the basement door, even though the water level apparently was high enough for the shark to slam against the door?

People that supposedly frequently spend time at the beach, have no means of handling emergency situations.

All of these people are adults, and supposedly intelligent, but make some of the dumbest decisions possible. For instance, they finally get through to 911, but do the immediately give their information? Nope! They hug and celebrate. I expected them to pop open some beers. Of course they lose the connection when they finally get around to responding to the dispatcher.

This was the first movie that I didn't hurry through what I was doing during the commercials or rewind if I missed anything. It was that bad.

I'm not even sure who the survivors were or how it actually ended, since I was barely paying attention the last 15 minutes or so.
