SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO! (*1/2)

(2015) The first Sharknado had its charms by playing it straight but keeping things tongue-in-cheek.  Sharknado 2 took itself way too seriously and was idiotic even by its own standards; near-total crap.  So welcome to Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, which features a bevy of right-wing celebrities that made the film even more annoying to watch, as Fin Shepard - after saving the life of the president of the United States (played oh-so-badly by Mark Cuban from "Shark Tank" - get it??) - heads down to Florida, where his pregnant wife and daughter lie in the path of ... not only a sharknado, but a series of sharknados threatening to come together to form - are you ready? - a sharkicane!  Oh yeah, sharks in space in this one too.  Yes, sharks in space.  Cameos from C-list stars, seriously bad acting and writing, and bad special effects all contribute to the third in a franchise that just isn't even fun to watch anymore.  Still, better than the second one.  And God help us, there's going to be a number four. (not rated/made-for-TV)
