Review of Lake Placid

Lake Placid (1999)
7/10
I don't care what anyone says, I really like this movie
28 June 2006
OK, it is cheesy but it's supposed to be. And I really didn't think the acting was that bad. It's a tongue in cheek movie and while it's not nearly up to "Tremors" standards for spoofing horror movies, I think it does a pretty good job at being what it is; a fun, check your brain at the door, movie. I really enjoyed it. And there are some great quotes;

"They conceal that type of information in books"

"Have you ever been to Maine before?" "I'm not allowed, I have good hygiene."

"You know, you really don't need to tell people you're from New York."

Almost any of Betty White's lines

And last but not least; Meredith Salinger is in it, she doesn't have a big role but, as always, she looks damn good. And she has one of the great lines in the movie;

The eccentric millionaire as he's about to go diving in the lake looking for the giant croc's den; "I want to see where it lives". Meredith; "Then watch NOVA!"
