10 Reasons We Need to See Blake Lively's Insane Shark Movie

Forget Gossip Girl - this weekend, Blake Lively has bigger fish to fry. In what's been called "the best shark movie since Jaws" (albeit, conversely, "laughable") Blake literally glows as a surfer whose solo excursion to a Mexican beach goes so clearly wrong, and we're mega-stoked to watch it all go down. Remember when Blake Lively's trips to Mexican beaches were as simple as Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants soccer camp shenanigans? Well, those days are over, and no pants can save her now. Will Blake make it out alive(ly)? Here are ten reasons we can't wait to find out. 

10. It features scenic views of beaches and Blake Lively's legs.

2. Who knows? Maybe it'll teach us how to survive on a rock during a shark attack when we're completely alone. Life skills!
