See A Great White Get A Reverse Colonoscopy!
Honestly "Trailer Park Shark" isn't a great movie, but it does have a couple of inspired over-the-top moments. The top two are definitely the hatching of the plan to give a Great White "a reverse colonoscopy" (don't even think about asking), and the shark wind turbine winch scene, which is extraordinarily creative.A typical scheming bad guy floods the Soggy Meadows Trailer Park by blowing up a protective dike, and wouldn't you know it, a ridiculous looking electrified shark swims in and boy is it hungry. There is a bit of time spent at the outset setting up the trashy residents and their oddball relationships with each other, but much of that goes to waste as people quickly become chum and realize they have to sink or swim together. I give the filmmakers credit for at least trying to write characters and give them motivations, a relative rarity in cheesy monster shark movies.The plot is actually quite complicated and involves a wind turbine, electricity theft, turnip farming (really), and even a brief mention of global warming. There are several stretches of the film that suffer from slow pacing, but in essence it's all an elaborate excuse to pit hillbillies versus an electric Great White in a trailer park. In a particularly eye-rolling scene Tara Reid even makes a special appearance with her...groan...chainsaw. There's a subplot that hinges on the shark having a particularly slow digestive tract. This information is critical, you see, because the residents have to get the camera the shark swallowed out of its stomach (this is where the colonoscopy idea comes to light) as it has footage of the bad guys blowing up the dike. Just ponder how convoluted that is. Eventually the crafty men and women with the sunbaked crimson necks finally figure out how to kill the shark, and I'm going to give creativity bonus points here for their method of extermination (hanging isn't the most obvious way to kill a fish)."Trailer Park Shark" clearly doesn't take itself too seriously, though it's played straight, and while some could clearly view certain aspects of the film as an homage to "Jaws", it's a ridiculous and modestly fun way to spend 85 minutes, and if you're a fan of insane or inane shark movies it's worth checking out.

stupid syfy
At my house, we call this stupid syfy. It is not a high quality movie. The acting is, well, not great. The special effects are no better. I would not pay $11.00 to go see this in a theater but it made my shelf. Good for a rainy afternoon with your kids, assuming they can handle a little blood and guts.

Worth a look, not a purchase-worthy shelf-space waster.
The actual plot/acting/direction was quite satisfactory.The special F/X, not so much.
