' 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 ' is n'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 does n'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 is n'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 , do n't take ' lake placid ' too seriously or you wo n'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 .
