Critiques as well as Comic Relief

While "Sharks of the Corn" provides an original and refreshing movie, it's also not without its shortcomings. The movie often switches between different characters and scenes, rendering some viewers disorientated and struggling to follow all the different plotlines. It's a deliberate style choice that adds to the spoof character of the film although it's not every person's cup of tea.

Production values for the movie are consciously low as is the acting, which falls into the category of unreliable. In the middle of weak performances, Steve Guynn shines through with his admirable performance. He's playing his role instead of simply reciting sentences. It's rare to find acting that is authentic in a sea of over-the-top performances.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines

This creativity, however, often cannot translate into an interesting enjoyment.

Final Rating one "Stock Footage Overlay" Out Five

The video isn't of high-quality, and the actor, sound and edits "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite meet the benchmark. Even though it's a comically entertaining spoof film it doesn't deliver an enjoyable, cohesive adventure. As the reviewer, I conclude with a hilarious observation: movies, similar to corn, will only become better in the event that you throw explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" fails to make the grade.
