Snakes on a Plane
So I finally got to see this long awaited film. I could have gone sooner, but I really wanted to do it right, with a group. So when Katie invited me to come along with her friends, I jumped at it. And oh man... This movie was everything I was hoping it would be. It was the perfect combination of horror, comedy, and b-movie.
As you would guess by the name, it is completely rediculous from start to finish. To quote one of the girls we went with, "I didn't stop laughing from start to finish." It was just that funny. Intentionally or not, it was there (and I know a lot of it was intentional). I mean how could you not laugh and cheer as Jackson goes charging into the cabin, tasering snakes (yes, you read that right) as he tries to help save people? It was just fantastic. If he didn't already have an established career, this could be Samuel L. Jackson's Death Race 2000.
So were there plot holes? Hell yes! Did anyone care? I highly doubt it. And if they did, well then they just missed to the whole point of the movie. In fact it was so rediculous that I wasn't even scared (which is pretty good considering that snakes rank very high on my fear list). But I was thoroughly entertained. Oh, and keep an eye out for Jackson wearing the un-official t-shirt of the film during the credits.
RATING: Go See It, With a Group, And Bring Gummy Worms to Eat (it worked for me), or Rent it and Watch it Drunk/Stoned With a Bunch of Friends (I think that would work well too).
