Still, it’s a mostly fun late-summer film, would likely go down easy with a drinking game.

The female-first vibe is refreshing but Something In The Water is something old, nothing new, a lot that is borrowed and an eyeful of twinkly blue.

Rated: 2/5

Observer (UK)

Something in the Water is competently filmed, with lots of propulsive underwater shark’s eye shots of the flailing legs of the bridesmaids. But there’s rather too much time spent watching the girls bobbing and bickering in the middle of the ocean.

Rated: 2/5

Ominous music, underwater shots of legs flailing, and drone footage of the requisite fin do well to create tension in this generic shark attack horror.

If you want to have fun for just under an hour and a half (there was no reason for it to last longer than that), there are worse options on streaming platforms. [Full review in Spanish].

Acting & script so poor you'd think it's a comedy. Some of the decision making & spontaneous "brave" moments of the women swimming out to face the shark alone are just so unrealistic of the actual terror you would feel in that moment. 2/10 on a good day.

A fun, friends movie, that's not about the shark, but the women. I loved it.

They A.C.E.'d it - Annoying, Cringy, and Embarrassing. Then our hero shows up and puts an end to the ‘Fantastic Five.’

I don't like being too negative about movies because to each their own, but it's completely nonsensical. Who's 15 year old sibling was in charge of the soundtrack? I want answers!! (spoilers) My god, when the girl popped up punching the shark, my eyes rolled so far back in my head that they never came back. I'm blind now. Thanks a lot, movie.

Absolute garbage. All the characters are annoying. I was cheering for a shark to eat them but that didn't happen in the first 25 mimutes which is all I could last. Avoid like the bubonic plague.
