Parents need to know...

that Sharknado is a 2013 made-for-TV movie that is so bad, it's brilliant. The gore and the blood -- sharks eating people whole or biting off their limbs -- make this one to avoid for younger kids, but for older teens and parents looking for something campy and mindless, you could do much worse. The dialogue, the "special effects," and the very premise of the story itself are -- intentional or not -- so ludicrous, it needs to be seen to be believed. Aside from this, there is some drinking throughout -- the main character is the owner of a beachside bar -- and a tasteless and gratuitous joke made by one of the characters about how the first floor of a house flooded with bloody water looks like "that time of the month."
