This is part of the golden age of teen movies that sprung up after the success of American Pie. It tells that classic story of a high school graduate who can’t get into college, so he makes his own instead. No, not a classic?
Jaws wasn’t enough, we needed more. And we got… Deep Blue Sea. The biggest differences are that a) these sharks are an experiment gone wrong, not a natural thing and b) Deep Blue Sea is way campier than the movies that inspired it.
This is actually my pick for terrible movies I’ll defend to everyone I meet, and I’ve even made friends who hadn’t seen it watch this 2000s college movie gem.
