You don't look old enough to have children old enough to dive.

Strom Thurmond said that you're only as old as the women your with. When he died, his wife at the time was young enough to be his grand-daughter. lol

Amen to that brother... hmmm.. I guess that makes me 23 right now!! :cool1:

k, I know Im being odd man....errr woman out BUT, I think that if you don't realize that Hollywood embellishes, you need help. No more than people in the pork industry should get upset over Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which also stated, based on actual events) should divers find concern. Bottom line, it is a movie. I mean Michael Moore made a "documentary" that wasnt real. IMO

The only thing is it scares the c@#p out of everyone who is planning on learning how to dive, true or not.... My 2 sons are going for there certs next week and I dont want them seeing the movie till after... I know it will give them second thoughts if they saw it .... Heck, I was 12 when JAWS came out ... made me think twice before I started diving.....

BK and I saw it last night. It wasn't good quality film, more like getting out your video camera. Some parts we were like what? thats dumb! I was hoping if nothing else they'd have good coral shots or something, but there was like one big rock and a couple eels, they could have atleast filmed some nice colorful coral. Also, i was looking at why it was rated R and theres nudity in it, but when you actually see the movie it was completely unnecessary and that drives me crazy when somebody is like lets stick a random nude scene in there!! overall i didn't really like it much.

Some movies are so bad that an unnecessary nude scene are their only redeeming quality.

I know what you mean....I was like "look...gratuitus nudity" I felt obligated to go and was figuring that it would suck and I wasn't dissapointed...it sucked. I think they were going for the home movie effect on purpose...kinda like a documentary or something. I'm sure the film has some merit...I just can't figure out where it is :welcome:

I think they figured that since the home movie thing made Blair Witch scarier, it would work for them to.

Yeah, there was one scene where a talented young lady bounced her way across the screen for a few seconds....if I can remember correctly.....someone help me out here if I'm wrong.

you are correct, did they do that to be funny or random? i personally thought it was a funny movie without it!

I'll have to watch it again. I do remember the credits are funny. Not only did they list a best boy, they listed a worst boy.
