Sharknado - Yes, it's that bad (and also quite good...kind of)

You've probably heard the `hype' about this film. If you haven't... `Sharkanado' created quite an online buzz when it was first shown on SyFy, largely because it's possibly the most ludicrous film ever made.

In case you haven't guessed the premise... a tornado brings in numerous sharks to inland L.A. They eat people - people who scream a lot.

Really, you don't have much choice as to whether you love or hate this film. The title alone tells you everything you should need to know about it. You just need to like (or at least appreciate) bad movies. If you have a select handful of `bad movies' which, despite the fact that you know better, you still watch and enjoy, then you might add this one to your collection (personally, I still love the 1978 German Star Wars rip-off `Star Crash' starring David Hasslehoff).

Of course you may have a few `bad' movies in your DVD collection and you still end up hating Sharkanado. Sure, no one will hold it against you. Yes, the acting is as bad as you've heard. Yes, there are no major stars (sorry, Tara Reid, but let's face it... you biggest contribution to popular culture was starring in Celebrity Big Brother) and, yes, the special effects sometimes look like they were designed on a ZX Spectrum. But then you probably already knew that.

If you can put aside all the - many - negatives about this film and see it for what it is - a piece of silly, stupid, cheesy fun, then you should be entertained for an hour and a half.

Of course you could just invite ten of your best friends round, get hideously drunk and put this on - it'll probably end up in your list of Top Ten films of all time if you watch it inebriated.
