Movie Reviews of Lake Placid (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Now that's one big crocodile!
Summary: 4 Stars
The plot is pretty simple: An Asian Pacific Crocodile has made Black Lake, Maine, his new home, and has killed a few people during its stay. Now it must be taken back into its original territory before it starts to kill again. This film is pretty entertaining if you're in the mood for a mix of ferocious When-Animals-Attack blood & guts and some good black humor. The crocodile itself is the true star here, though Pullman and Fonda and Platt give very good performances. The special effects are very impressive, though the Bear's demise looks a bit unrealistic.
Not one of the best horror-comedy films of all, but it's worth watching. Grade: B+
Summary of Lake Placid (Widescreen Edition)
An investigative team, armed with state-of-the-art equipment, high powered weaponry and a biting sense of sarcasm, must work together to defeat Black Lake's most ferocious resident: a 30-foot prehistoric crocodile! Betty White co-stars as the cantankerous Mrs. Bickerman - a role you've got to hear to believe - in this terrifying tale of survival that "combines humor and thrills with remarkable deftness."Lake Placid is total trash--and, as a result, fairly entertaining. Yet another entry in the horror subgenre of giant animals running amok, Lake Placid features a giant crocodile that has somehow found its way to an isolated lake in Maine. The absurdity of crocodiles in Maine sets the tone for the entire movie, which has no ambitions beyond mixing a little fright with a little humor. Bridget Fonda (Point of No Return, Jackie Brown) plays a paleontologist sent to investigate a large tooth; Bill Pullman (Independence Day, Lost Highway) is a fish and game warden just trying to keep the peace; Oliver Platt (Funny Bones, Flatliners) plays a loose-cannon mythology professor who swims with crocodiles for sport; and Brendan Gleeson (an excellent but little-known actor, most noted for The General) is a local sheriff with a short temper and a big gun. Add a few gruesome dismemberments, Betty White as a cantankerous old broad who may have murdered her husband, and a cow hanging from a helicopter, and there you have it: Lake Placid. (Curiously, this concoction was put together by David E.?Kelley, better known as the creator of TV's Ally McBeal and The Practice.) --Bret Fetzer
