Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This one could have been a good deal of schlocky fun, but alas the filmmakers decided to take the inane premise of a handful of vacationing young folks being terrorized by sharks in a Louisiana lake resort community seriously instead of treating it in a more tongue-in-cheek manner. Director David B. Ellis maintains a snappy enough pace and offers lots of flashy stylistic flourishes throughout, but crucially fails to generate any essential tension. Worse yet, the heavy-handed script by Will Hayes and Jesse Studenberg not only relates a silly story that becomes more increasingly ludicrous as it unfolds, but also gets bogged down in tiresome melodrama and presents an array of cardboard characters who are impossible for the viewer to care about. The fact that the CGI sharks look hopelessly cartoonish and unconvincing adds further abject insult to already appalling injury. The blaring rock soundtrack proves to be headache-inducing while the PG-13 rating puts the kibosh on any explicit nudity or graphic gore. On the plus side, Donal Logue manages to rise above the muck with his amusing portrayal of a good ol' boy sheriff and the attractive female cast members look pretty smokin' in their bikinis. But overall this clunker sizes up as the cinematic equivalent of a gallon of rotten chum.

Athlete Malik invites his geeky tutor to go on a fun break from college. Sara (Sara Paxton) has a family lake house on an island. The locals include Dennis who has a history with Sara and sheriff Sabin (Donal Logue). The 7 college friends are shocked when Malik loses an arm while water skiing. Then a shark attack destroys their boat. The phones don't work and they're stuck on the island. Maya is killed. Dennis and Red from the bait shop comes to the rescue, sort of.Hot bods getting eaten by sharks is a good idea to get the neanderthals. This has a little bit more. There are explosive action. The bikinis are skimpy. There are bad guys. Katharine McPhee looks good getting eaten. The other shark attacks aren't scary enough. The CGI sharks could be better. It's limited TV movie level CGI. Sinqua Walls walking around is silly as heck. The action gets covered up sometimes by the blood. It's not as horrible as I expected but it's not a good movie by any means. It has some fun moments for fans of B-movie horror.

**Spoiler Alert**There I was, standing in front of RedBox trying to figure out what to rent with my "free rental code" and after the anxiety had slipped away I landed on Shark Night. Now I was very unsure how to accept or prepare for this movie after reading other reviews on this movie, And I will tell you this..... If you are looking for some just plain old movie fun then this is your movie. Shark Night was actually filmed quite well, had good acting, and there was a story involved too. Sure it was silly and dumb and some scenes did not really make sense, like how smart and amazingly aggressive the sharks were, but man this movie was fun!!!Its about 7 college friends that go for a weekend of fun at a friends lake house for vacation. After some crazy in-water occurrences happen, they realize that there are a lot of different species of sharks in the water. I will not spoil the movie too much for you but after a dude gets his arm ripped off and people start to die then things start to take a twist.Basically if you like to watch good cinematography, little bit of blood and gore, action, and scenes that don't really add up but are still entertaining to watch then I suggest this movie.RATING 7 out of 10
