Trivia:

Due to US moral views, Sony Pictures digitally altered the theatrical trailer to give Jessica Alba a 'less revealing' bikini.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Jared and Bryce start wrestling in the water and Jared loses his watch, they both have masks and snorkels on. When they surface when the sharks come, neither has a mask on, and Jared gets a mask from Sam to go back down to get the watch.

Quotes:

Amanda: Whatever happened to finders keepers, losers weepers.

Think It Matters

Good for what it is...

Which is: popcorn. This PG-13 "kiddie-action" gets a solid 6/10 from me. I did have my expectations low but that has nothing to do with the fact that this movie is as solid and tight as Jessica Alba in bikinis! There were more than just a few moments where there was either a twist I didn't see coming or an intense moment that left me thinking "OK, wasn't this supposed to be a PG-13 movie?" On top of those, the overall - checklist looks green: dialog, characters, tempo, photography, editing... All in all, a cut above the rest in its own genre and a "risk-free" choice to rent. Shame it did only 18 million at the box-office because it's as good as "The Fast and the Furious"!
