Uncle BarkyEd BarkJul 29, 2014
Season 1 Review: The overall effect isn’t quite intoxicating, and it might be better if you’re intoxicated in one form or another. Still, Sharknado 2: The Second One is part of a continuing pop culture chain of events that doubles as a rags-to-riches success story for a likable rag-tag director. Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJul 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Kind of hilarious. Kind of silly. Mostly a game of spot-the-cameo players and teasing about what moment a certain chainsaw will come in contact with certain bodies. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJul 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Sharknado 2 doesn’t need any jokes about jumping the shark. It knows you’re going to make one and it beats you to it, literally. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJul 29, 2014
Season 1 Review: Sharknado 2 intends to be nothing more than dumb fun, and it succeeds well enough at that. But it also leaves you regretting that the Sharknado team (Anthony C. Ferrante again directed from a script by Thunder Levin) didn’t reach for camp greatness. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJul 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Set now in New York, instead of Los Angeles, it is just more of the insane same--insaner, if anything--in a slightly nicer suit. As with John Heard, the ringer in the first installment, the picture manages to bring everyone in it down to its level. Or close enough. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GayJul 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: The good news is that The Second One often is worse (in a good way) and does boast at least one viral YouTube clip, starring the head of the Statue of Liberty. (Poor Lady Liberty.) But The Second One is also more predictable, silly and self-conscious of the legacy.... For "Sharknado" fans: B- For viewers with highly refined tastes--or any taste--and sharks: F+ Read full review
