Au coeur de la tornade

I don't understand the low ratings... come on! It's an adventure for the whole family, with (bad CGI) tornadoes, a father and a daughter on the road and a mild disaster scenario!

You don't watch a movie like this expecting a masterpiece, you watch it to enjoy a hour and something of easy fun.

The opening title is "Christams Twister" you know you are in trouble. I could not believe the title was spelled wrong! And it just got worse from there!

OK. I have to admit I did not sit there and suffer through the whole thing like my wife did, but, the amount I did see was bad enough. The fake fire, the (what appeared to be nuclear power plant) in Fort Worth. This movie was just lousy. I don't know where they got the palm trees. I've never seen them here. Also at the tail end (SPOILER ALERT) the main character and his family swimming (in December) in their unheated outdoor pool and running around in bikinis and bathing suits in north Texas. Excuse me. It's never warm enough in December to run around like that and have a cook-out. Anyway if you like B-grade movies with lousy acting etc. go for it.

Perhaps someone should consider renaming this movie as "Christmas Turkey". It's about as flawed as a movie can get.....which pretty much sums up the "Global Warming" lead man. Anyone who lives in the North Central part of Texas will instantly recognize the errors of such things as mountains in Granbury/Dublin. You wonder at the lead character shouting to people leaving a mall asking "have you seen my son?" How would they know who his son is??? A few times he calls out about his son "wearing a Texas shirt", but when he finds him the kid is wearing a striped green shirt. A monster tornado inflicts more damage on the basement of a TV station than it does on the upper floors and a fire on the upper floors somehow causes heavy smoke in the basement! We can see a funnel cloud coming at a male anchor, but his cameraman doesn't see it! This movie is so bad that I became fascinated watching it to see what other glaring errors would pop up next!

As a Broadcast Meteorologist, it is my duty to watch any weather disaster movie and give it an honest chance. This was by far the most hysterical disaster film I have ever seen and my sides are killing me. Not even "Sharknado 2" comes close. The scripting was so erroneously written that it is pure comedy for anyone with any meteorological or broadcast TV experience. At the risk of giving them all aneurysms, I highly recommended it to all my professional colleagues. Won't complain about the special effects since I know it was low budget but it added to the comedy. Thank you for this movie.
