Critiques as well as Comic Relief
While "Sharks of the Corn" provides an original and refreshing movie, it's also not without its shortcomings. The movie often switches between various characters and scenes rendering some viewers disorientated and unable to keep track of all the different plotlines. It's a clever stylistic decision which adds to the humorous quality of the movie, however it's likely not everyone's cup-of-tea.
The production values in the film have been deliberately low and the actors' performance falls into the realm of questionable. In spite of the plethora of poor performances, Steve Guynn shines through with his impressive performance. He actually acting as his character, not merely reciting dialogue. It's an exceptional example of real acting in the sea in which the actors are exaggerated.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines

Final Rating: One "Stock Footage Overlay" Out of Five
Although (blog) the video itself is not of good quality, voice acting, as well as editing "Sharks of the Corn" isn't up to the goal. Despite the potential for a amusing spoof comedy, it's ultimately a failure to provide a coherent and enjoyable movie. Since I am the reviewer, let me sign off with a humorous note that movies, just like corn, can only be improved when you include explosives. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite make the grade.
