Snakes on a Plane
Remember when you were a kid and the teacher would tell you something, and the first response out of any kids mouth was “Well, what if <insert preposterous scenario here>”. Usually you were met with a befuddled “How could you possibly come up with something like that?” expression, or even the ageless “We don’t do what if’s“. The game usually degenerated into a contest between two similarly aged participants to see who could come up with the most outlandish scenario.
Snakes on a Plane is the result of such a contest. Now, I won’t go so far as to say it’s a good movie, but it’s definately a fun and entertaining movie if you’re in the right mindset. The movie has pretty much every single embarrasing “What if a snake bit you <insert anatomy part here>?” acted out in gory detail. The acting isn’t fantastic, especially the pilot who, in any real-world scenario, would have long-since been fired for sexual harassment. But even with it’s faults, it’s a fun movie. It had a few good scares (snakes jumping out of vents and such) and a lot of good laughs. It’s got a little bit of gore, but not excessively so. It does have nudity, but only one scene that I recall.
So all in all, it’s a 50/50 shot. If you’re in the mindset of action/humor and not horror, then you’ll enjoy it. I can only image the fun the guys behind MST3K (Now doing RiffTrax) would have with this.
