It’s what happens in between that puts the blah in B-movie. There are moments of insanity that will get the Twitterverse talking.
INSANE SILO MOVIE MOVIE
A movie like "Sharknado 2" needs to be so briskly paced that you never have time to consider what Kari Wuhrer has been up to for the last twenty years. While I kind of love the opening sequence, "Sharknado 2" drags for a large chunk after that and, honestly, doesn’t have enough insane action to really say it completely works as B-movie escapism. It’s a silly, silly, silly movie and fans of it will say it works because the people who made it know it’s silly. Matt Lauer and Al Roker make multiple appearances as themselves, reporting on the Sharknado. They pepper the film with as many nostalgic cameos as sharks, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Andy Dick, Kelly Osbourne, Judd Hirsch and more. The creators of "Sharknado 2" know their target audience: people willing to embrace bad dialogue, one-take performances, and truly horrendous production values for a bit of B-movie escapism. Fox, Kari Wuhrer and Mark McGrath in supporting roles. The two travel to New York City and, well, it happens again, this time with Vivica A. Fin (Ian Ziering) and April ( Tara Reid) have become quasi-celebrities after the insanity of "Sharknado." April even wrote a bestselling book about it. How do you top a movie in which its lead character escaped from the inside of a giant shark? Take it to the other coast. It’s something that sets the stage for Troma-esque lunacy and will SURELY get people tweeting and talking. And if you can imagine how insane that might be, you are only half-right. So, the writers of "Sharknado 2" have frontloaded their sequel with a ridiculous, insane, B-movie opening sequence that essentially pays homage to the classic "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" episode of "The Twilight Zone"-sharknado meets plane. 2013’s "Sharknado" was a massive hit thanks in no small part to the way people responded to it on Twitter. But it’s one of the first times I can remember watching something that feels entirely and completely designed to provoke a response on social media. It’s not well-staged or well-acted or well-anything really. I’m going say something that could be misquoted: The opening action sequence in "Sharknado 2: The Second One" is brilliant.
