CRAZY MAN!!!!

Tthe guy from police academy is in this movie, the Dr. guy. He talks like mad, maybe like he head brain scan. John Cusack and Demi More are too good, I like them too much. They are also in the movie. The movie is like wild adventure or something, on a beach, and moves too fast, with cool music. The soundtrack should win a oscar, I think it is the greatest of all times. The shark, too is also very funny, and look better than the shark in Jaws 3D. I find it so hard to belive the movie was made in the 1980s, it looks so new and modern, like it was made yesterday. The beach and locashun, too, are also too nice. I think the costume guy should win a oscar, his job he did for the movie was too nice.
