Review of Lake Placid (1999) by Gg J — 07 Jun 2009
?Lake Placid? is a bad film. A wonderfully, silly, over-the-top laugh-out-loud bad-on-purpose film that can be watched over and over again. The take: In Maine, a killer crocodile is munching on people, and a museum worker (Bridgett Fonda) and a parks ranger (Bill Pullman) are among the many tasked with finding and stopping the beast.
It?s all so wonderfully silly and wonderfully delivered. The film?s a joke on a whole set of genres: the monster in nature, romantic dramas and horror. Betty White, God, I love that woman, appears as a wacked local with the mouth of a dozen degenerate Marines.
Her line about not having a d*ck is nothing short of brilliant. The crocodile-eats-bear scene still is one of the best laughs I?ve ever had.
