Lively's melodramatic power remains untapped.

The Shallows is almost a good movie.

You're gonna need a bigger Blake (and you're going to get one) in Lively's enjoyably trashy shark-survival movie, the definition of summer fun.

fresh:
A splash of fresh seawater in the face of a rather dismal summer movie season. It's very cheesy, which is how escapist summer cinema should be, and part of its charm is that it's not self-reflective enough to be aware of its own cheesiness.

Is "The Shallows" a thriller for the ages? No, but it's decent popcorn fare.
