'lake placid' is definately not your typical creature attacking people movie , ok so maybe it is , but this one is enjoyable , and clever .
|
|
actually it comes off more of a comedy than a horror film .
|
|
well the ending is kinda scary , but in most horror/comedies they are .
|
|
i will admit that 'lake placid' isn't an oscar worthy film , but it does come off as an inventive movie that is original and funny .
|
|
bridget fonda plays a palentologist who after finding out her boyfriend is cheating , is forced to go to lake placid and investigate a tooth , after a man is bit in half .
|
|
she gets there but really doesn't understand why she is there .
|
|
bill pullman plays a man also investigating what happened , along with the sherriff and a rich croc obsessed man , they go out and find what is going on .
|
|
what they find though isn't great .
|
|
a huge and i mean huge crocodile is living in lake placid , over 150 years old , he has migrated here for who knows why .
|
|
they have to fight against the croc and try to trap him so they can study him and see where he came from .
|
|
betty white plays a woman who lives on the shores of lake placid , and well you'll have to see the movie to find out .
|
|
her character is very funny and foul-mouthed , which is surprising to hear betty spew words and phrases that are pretty bad , but funny .
|
|
to me the movie came off as a spoof of jaws .
|
|
with the opening sequence , and some others , it is not original and is .
|
|
when you watch this movie , you definately notice the smartness and cleverness of it .
|
|
david e . kelly who is the mastermind of the practice and ally mcbeal , writes this movie with ease and surprisingly does a great job .
|
|
the characters have smartmouths , two foul , and some great one-liners .
|
|
but believe me , don't take 'lake placid' too seriously or you won't like it .
|
|
but it is a movie that can be enjoyed as a fun 'popcorn' type movie .
|
|
but i guess it rates above the 'popcorn' rating .
|
|
sit back , watch the movie , laugh , scream , and whatever you want .
|
|
even though the movie is r , and i put violence and gore .
|
|
there's really not that much gore , but what there is might seem kinda gross to some .
|
|
'lake placid' is a smart , clever , funny , and scary movie that i enjoyed and i think you will too .
