    WATCH OUT FOR THE KILLER COOKIE DOUGH!

    This movie seemed to be a Volcano sidekick, but after seeing it half n' half, I had to agree with myself that this was one of the funniest movies ever made... I don't know which catastrophy is worse, the movie or the one that the killer cookie dough is supposed to prevent... Someone hand me the chocolate chips, please!

    And the town comes crumbling down.

    A geology consultant(John Corbett)teams with a city official(Jessica Beauchamp)to stop a sinkhole from enveloping New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Interesting story, but not enough special effects to support it. Most interesting is Brittany Daniel the niece of Beauchamp's character. HOT. Predictable finale. Also in the cast are Eugene Clark and Ron Gabriel.

    Typical TV disaster movie, no surprise.

    This movie suffers from the typical TV disaster movie formula. One man is trying to save an entire city, constantly working against self-serving politicians. The plot is totally predicable and the natural disaster in this movie was laughingly unrealistic (sinkholes in New Orleans).

    Bungling and inept

    Utterly formulaic TV disaster movie in which New Orleans threatens to collapse in on itself as sinkholes open up under its streets at the height of Mardi Gras celebrations Naturally the straight arrow geologist is not believed as a devious majoral aide seeks to obscure evidence in order to avoid the cancellation of the parade

    Bland actors,inadequate visual effects and a script that would only be mediocre if it improved by 200%

    Why do movies like this get made at all? Who could possibly like them as they are inert and lifeless in every respect

    You have got to be kidding.

    This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Too bad they weren't trying to make a comedy. I just couldn't get past the implausibility of the entire movie and the blaring inaccuracies. For example: the average elevation of New Orleans is below sea level, therefore you can't get very deep into the ground without finding water. The makers of this TV movie didn't seem to think that was important.

    All in all, this was not a good movie. But at least they managed to stick every New Orleans stereotype into it and still have room for a pretty girl.

    • Trivia
      Mardi Gras in New Orleans shot in Toronto in December!
    • Goofs
      New Orleans is below sea level resulting in a high water table. If you dig a hole a few feet deep it will likely fill with water. Yet in this movie the tunnels are 60-feet below ground and are bone dry despite being well below the water table.
