I wonder whether this will be "Spring Break Shark Attack" good, or just "10.5" good?

I'll probably watch this, I've always loved movies about groups of killer whatevers. Nice-n-cheesy.

Can't decide whether to watch this one. Too close to Spring Break Shark Attack - they need to spread the cheese out a little more.

I don't know about that, main reason I'm at all hyped to watch this clearly B- grade cheesy tv movie is how totaly B grade bad (that's a good thing if you like B grade films) Spring Break Shark Attack is.. Awwwww yeah!!!

Of course as others have mentioned, it has a lot B grade goodness to live up to.. I mean shark bites that make people explode?!?! I better see a bug swarm cause a huge car wreck or something.. Maybe punch past a windshield!?! The mind boggles at the cheesy stuff they might do..

Ah but being in california it's only 6:30pm.. I have to wait another hour and half til the locusts attack, oh sorry I mean the deadly breed of bioengineered locusts attack..

Favorite parts so far:
- Xena with THO for the first 45 minutes
-Screaming Citrus mascot running from locust.
-Screaming hotties hiding from locusts under desk (but they stop screaming long enough to make fun of a co-worker)
-They mustve invented tranporters because people are just showing up hundreds of miles away
-When in doubt, call in the VX gas.

Not as good as Spring Break Shark Attack but it still had its moments. The acting by the extras whenever the locusts attacked had me

I swear I thought that Rosie movie was a comedy. And then they did the slo-mo ending shot so I guess it's supposed to be heartwarming or something. But really, a retarded Rosie Odonell trying to touch her toes... thats comedy gold.
