Excellent, a Must See

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I'm assuming the bloke who said this was the best shark movie ever was someone who was part of the production? Writer maybe? The problem with this movie was it had 2 "alpha" story lines and neither had enough time spent on it to make it enjoyable. How the sharks end up on their reef was downplayed so much I almost missed it. They should have spent more time building on that then throwing in the second storyline of girl getting roofied. Not much in the shark attacks. Even the feeding frenzy fell short. The acting wasn't bad comparing it to other shark movies. They wouldn't win any awards, but they weren't that bad. No the problem with this movie was having 2 story lines that had nothing to do with one another. Each a strong story on its own and each needing the full hour and a half so u didn't feel cheated. I wouldn't say Don't watch the movie I would only suggest not to have high expectations. But then that's how most shark, actually most creature features, are. Do NOT go by the reviews that give it a 10. You'll be disappointed. It's a solid 3. Maybe a 4 if your not one who watches these type of movies expecting to see much in shark attacks.

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.

Spring Break Shark Attack starts as cute teenager Danielle Harrison (Shannon Lucio) decides to disobey her father & head down to Florida for the spring break to be with her friends, while there Danielle hooks up with her Shark expert brother & meets the likable & handsome Shane (Riley Smith) who works for his mum renting out fishing boats. Seagull Beach is a popular hangout with the locals looking to party although an artificial man made reef has attracted lots of wildlife to the area including lots of man eating Tiger Shark's who start feasting on anyone they come across in the water. Danielle, Shane & her brother discover the truth but the authorities won't listen & a full blown Shark attack on Seagull Beach & everyone there seems only a matter of time...Also known under th title Dangerous Waters: Shark Attack outside the US this Soth African & American co-production was directed by Paul Shapiro & is yet another really awful 'Creature Feature' from the Sci-Fi Channel that manages to be just that little bit worse than usual, imagine a mind numbingly bad cross between Dawson's Creek (1998-2003) & Jaws (1975) & you still wouldn't be close. The majority of Spring Break Shark Attack concentrates on teen angst & their problems like fights with over protective parents, dating, peer pressure, making the right decision & even date rape with the Shark attack angle coming in a very distant & lonely second, the Shark attack angle actually feels more like an afterthought & the sub soap opera dramatics feel like they were given priority. The Shark attack scenes are awful, there's no build-up or tension & no pay-off whatsoever as they are as tame as they come. The whole thing is very predictable (gee, I wonder if that Shark repellent device Danielle's brother is working on will be used later on?), the character's are awful, the dialogue is poor & it's just terrible with a really slow pace that makes you just want to press the fast-forward button. Spring Break Shark Attack isn't even any fun in a it's so bad it's good, it's just insultingly bad in all aspects.As already mentioned the Shark attack scenes are amongst the worst I've seen, there obviously wasn't a special effects budget & as such most of the Shark footage seems lifted from a wildlife documentary & the actor's are never seen with them, only the typical fin above water is shown at the same time & there are maybe two shots of a fake Shark as well otherwise it's people splashing around a lot & not much else. There's no real gore here, a bit of blood in the water & a couple of bite marks but nothing else, the original Jaws is gorier than this.Although set in California this was apparently shot in Cape Town in South Africa, the scenery is nice enough but a beach is a beach no matter where it is, right? The acting is bad, really bad although a few of the girls are quite cute I suppose. Respected Australian actor Bryan Brown probably needed the money & fancied a free holiday in South Africa.Spring Break Shark Attack is a mind numbingly bad 'Creature Feature' of the worst kind, far too much tedious drama & too little Shark attack. This isn't even any fun, it's just a boring chore to sit through of the highest sloppiest & most predictable kind. Even die hard 'Creature Feature' fans will have a hard time liking this.

Good points: Plenty of semi-nude pretty girls, blood and gore.... and that's about it, I'm afraid.Extremely weak story, good scriptwriters are apparently hard to come by.If the movie had better actors, I would rate it a B-movie.This movie makes "Twister" and "Day after Tomorrow" into Oscar candidates.Heck, if "Spring Break Shark Attack" were any worse, it would be rated as a weapon of mass destruction.Maybe it's time to invade Hollywood? Time to free the world from oppressively bad scripts, and put movie-destroying directors on trial for lowering the reputation of bad movies?Couch potatoes of the world, unite! Rise up against the brain-numbing machine of Hollywood ...... oh what the heck, just drink more beer.
