SHARKNADO 2: THE SECOND ONE (2014)

If you could get your doctor to digitally record your next colonoscopy ... you'd be better off watching THAT than Sharknado 2.  Everything that was so endearing about the first film - the B-movie acting and production values, the earnestness of the actors/script in taking all the zaniness seriously on-screen (as all the best B-movies and monster movies do) is gone here in a pretentious, hideously-written, self-absorbed mess that's full of unbelievable stupidity, multiple cameos of celebrities who were popular a decade or more ago, and more plastic surgery on the faces of at least half of the main characters than Joan Rivers has gotten in her entire lifetime.  So bad it's not even laughable - just irritating.  If looking for the perfect summer film that will make you want to gouge your eyes out when it's over (btw, it will also be THE longest 85 minutes of your life), by all means see this one.  Hands down, the worst film I've seen so far this year. (TV-14)  1/2-star (and that's being generous)
