Must Love JawsPlay this trailer

    "In the resort community of Amity Island, Chief Brody and Matt Hooper didn't always fit in ... until the day they took a fateful trip and met a special friend...."
So says a voice-over artist commonly known as The Trailer Guy, as Steven Spielberg's classic Jaws is recut and re-scored from a black comedy chiller into a warm and fuzzy pet tale. Sure that Great White Shark is large and has such big teeth, Capt. Quint, but he's only misunderstood. I say we call him "Flipper!"

Review:

This Jaws mash-up at YouTube produces more chuckles than many of the now commonplace movie trailer spoofs circulating due to the clever juxtapositions of clips and tongue-in-cheek music cues. The finale at sea doesn't quite fit into the motif, but nice try. Seeing Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, and Bruce the Shark back together in the *new* project is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Must Love Jaws is certainly less out there than the real Jaws 3-D and Jaws IV. FIN.
