Santa Jaws

The concept of the film makes it obvious it shouldn't be taken seriously and once that is realized it's actually a fun entertaining film. The acting was pretty good from everyone and the film's lead Reid Miller (Play by Play, A Girl Named Jo) carries the film nicely.

The emotional moments of the film came off as genuine and there's definitely some laugh out loud moments. I actually wouldn't mind a sequel to it (as long as it doesn't go on too long like the Sharknado films) and i'll definitely be adding it to my playlist of Christmas movies this year as well.

If you like cheesy but entertaining movies definitely check this one out!

If you're looking for a serious action movie, well then I don't know why you're here, looking at reviews for a movie titled "Santa Jaws". Move on now.

If you enjoy cute, campy movies with bad CGI, welcome home. This is your movie and we are your people. Lower your expectations and enjoy the ride.

Two talented boys create a comic book character that comes to life after the illustrator is given a magical pen. Wacky hijinks ensue. With the exception of the bad CGI, this movie is good. Campy but good. It looks higher budget on the screen than it should. Everyone does their job well.

I gave it 6 stars instead of 7 because I felt like the ending missed the mark a little. Close but it fumbled the landing by a step.

You get what you pay for with "Santa Jaws". It's a silly but mostly fun movie. The location is nice and the cast is good. The shark scenes are worth the wait. I have nothing bad to say about "Santa Jaws". I don't think it will become a Christmas tradition but that's okay. It was a fun watch last night. Honorable mention: a dreamy Haviland Stillwell.

This might have worked as some skit on SNL for 5 minutes every Christmas, or as an episode of "South Park" poking fun at terrible shark and Christmas movies simultaneously.

But good lord this was stupid. And it tried to take this incredibly stupid concept absolutely seriously. And the CGI... it's a SyFy original, you all know what to expect. And you will not be mistaken. There was also very little of it. There was very little... anything. I don't think the creators had either the budget or creativity to do anything even amusing with their one-note concept.

Two stars are for the actors, who tried their very best through one of the dumbest ideas in cinematic history. I think several of them deserve a shot in something better-made. And one is for the primary camera work which at least looks modestly well-done.

It's a fun campy movie that too many people take too serious! If you watch it for the fun that it is, you will enjoy it as the characters are stereotypical of what you expect as well as being well directed. I look to more movies by this intriguing director, Misty Talley.
