My roommate mistakenly thought we were going to watch a movie called "Shark Knight". If only.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

Decent watch, could watch again, but can't recommend.

If you're just into romantic comedies, this might work for you, and it's not a bad movie, but it's not a very strong movie. It's a "two guys are going to fight over a guy" trope that tries to stand out by the guy who isn't obvious being a "dream celebrity".

The chemistry between that actors isn't great, and the scenarios are very contrived. While it a fun movie, it feels like acting when good acting feels very natural.

In a world where we have so many options, it's just hard to tell anyone to prioritize this one.

Good watch, might watch again, and can recommend if you like horror / sharks.

I imagine for someone who doesn't care about sharks, this might actually be a little boring. They're used really well for a horror mechanic, there is almost a Rob Zombie vibe to this one.

The weirdest part of "sharks in a lake" is how the sharks are surviving, or if we believe the movie discussion that it's a "salt water lake". There are lakes of weirder stuff, so a lake of salt water is reasonable, but it is very clear when you are in salt water versus fresh water.

It is honestly the biggest problem with the movie: the rest makes a lot of sense so it doesn't play with your suspension of disbelief. The story is well structured, and the actors mostly do a good job.

Overall, it's just not the best movie though. I personally don't mind forces of nature as adversity / antagonists, I liked "Crawl", but it has to done with a good delivery.

I don't feel like I care about the characters or the sharks all that much.

It feels like there should be options to just stay out of the water, which is what makes "sharks in the ocean" scary, its harder to get away.

In the end its a good watch that feels like it should be a great watch, but that could just be critical thinking defeating my movie experience.
