Outstanding of its kind. Pay attention to "of its kind."
This over-the-top parody of a horror film is one production value step above grindhouse classics. The film features gore, airborne sharks, gore, heroic helicopter attacks on tornadoes, gore, and chainsaw violence on those airborne sharks.
Remember the first Men in Black? You'll be prepared for the rescue of a damsel in distress.
It's worth seeing if only to say that you've seen it.

SyFy and The Asylum present their most awesomely absurd co-production yet (and that's really sayin' somehting!!). When a freak hurricane pounds Southern California, a tidal wave floods the streets, bringing hordes of hungry sharks with it. As if things weren't bad enough already, the high winds then create waterspouts which pick up the sharks and hurl them around the city in an angry, razor-toothed, whirling maelstrom of doom.
Shorefront bartender Finn (Played by Ian "Steve from "90210" Ziering) and his bikini-clad, shotgun-toting barmaid (Cassie Scerbo) survive the initial disaster and then have to make their way across the flooded, shark-infested streets of L.A. in order to rescue Finn's family, including ex-wife Tara Reid. Lots of munching, shooting, crashing, exploding, and chain sawing -- yes, chain sawing! - ensues.
Needless to say, "Sharknado" is hilariously terrible in the best possible way, with some of the most ridiculous CGI ever. Nuke some popcorn, turn off your brain, and enjoy.
