Synopsis: A group of college students head out for a weekend of fun, drinking, and hopefully some hooking up at their friend's lakeside cabin, but see all their well laid plans ruined by a mysterious wakeboarding accident before anyone can even get drunk. They quickly find out that the cause of the accident is a rather large and menacing shark and the adventure to survive unfolds.

I think the most surprising thing about this movie was that the acting really wasn't as terrible as the plot would indicate. Nothing seemed overly forced or over-acted, and I can't recall being distracted from the "movie experience" by laughing at really bad acting, which is usually the case with movies of this genre. I also think the movie would have been slightly more fun in 3D, but I would have been very upset if I had paid money, especially 3D ticket prices, to see it. So if you have a 3D television and absolutely nothing else to do, you could give this movie a watch.

The behavior of the sharks and sheer absurdity of their physical feats (you'll know what I'm talking about after the jet-ski scene) is probably the only reason I gave this movie a 2 out of 5 instead of a 1. That, and I kind of feel bad for Donal Logue. He went from being a co-star in Blade to this? Poor, poor man.
