'Sharknado' is bad to the bone.

It's absurd. It's ridiculous. If you're a fan of low-budget horror movies and you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

'Sharknado' tops Syfy's previous gem 'Sharktopus' as effortlessly as a hungry fish drops out of the sky into the swimming pool at a retirement community.

Yes, that happens. And someone tells a retirement community resident, 'Run!' And she replies, 'I can't run. I can't even walk.'

The premise of 'Sharknado,' just so no one accidentally mistakes it for 'Argo,' is that a huge Pacific storm has morphed into tornados. As the waterspouts gain strength over the ocean off the coast of L.A., they suck up thousands of sharks.

When they move inland and lose power, they spill out the sharks like pi ñ atas gone terribly wrong. The sharks swim along flooded freeways and slam through windows to gobble up people inside.

One shark not only finds a way to secure itself to the top of an SUV going 40 or 50 mph, but it pries open the moonroof to see what kind of tasty morsels are nervously waiting inside.

Nor does the human dialogue lack bite, with lines like 'I hate sharks. I'm from Wyoming.'

And don't think for a minute that being in 'Sharknado' makes the actors seem ridiculous. On the contrary, stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and Cassie Scerbo make it look like a day at the beach. How often do you find a role where it's impossible to overact?

'Sharknado' is an hour and a half of your life that you'll never get back. And you won't want to.
