Maybe if there was a surprise or two hidden in here it would be worth checking out, but there isn't. It follows a textbook example on how to make either style of movie. You can see every plot twist (is it really a twist if it's obvious?) coming within fifteen minutes. It rounds off with a finish that explains nothing, has no closure, and leaves you wondering why exactly you wasted this much time of your life watching this when you could have put in "Jaws 3" for more entertainment. Yes, "Jaws 3" is better. Does that make things a little clearer for you?
Acting is fair from the few leads; it's the rest of the cast that is hysterically funny. Unknown Wayne Thronley plays Danielle's brother. He's stuck with some classic lines of dialogue, not a single one that can be taken seriously and he seems to know it. Director Paul Shapiro decides to quick zoom on people's faces for no apparent reason (right in the middle of a conversation a few times) and tries to add some "documentary" feel with the ever-so-overused shaky camera effect. Why? It's pointless.
This could be a start for CBS. Coming April 24th is the epic-looking (or not) "Locusts." The preview for the upcoming feature spends more time with its title creature than "Spring Break Shark Attack" did during its entire 90-minutes. This is a movie that tries to draw in two completely separate crowds and in the end, loses them both. This is a year where you'll be perfectly content to go in the water.

I happily watched Spring Break Shark Attack! with my girlfriend yesterday evening and we laughed as hard as we did when watching Caddyshack. Is this movie bad? As bad as the worst episodes of Beverly Hills 90210. Is it fun? Gloriously!
Want some advice? Tape this movie. Next time you have you friends over, down a beer (or shot) everytime the camera shows a bikini-clad babe (yum!)that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. You'll go through a 12-pack fairly quick.......
