IR Film Review: CHUM [IFC]
"Chum" in many ways wants to be a play on "Jaws" with nods to "The Meg" on an independent budget. The background location set up is beautiful with Malta (increasingly pushing its film locations) built as the backdrop of a destination wedding between a lawyer and her soon-to-be activist husband. Things are not all right in paradise. But the night after the wedding, their friends rent a catamaran to lounge on the water, and hijinks ensue.
