Anaconda
BFFs Griff (Paul Rudd) & Doug (Jack Black) reunite at Doug’s surprise birthday party.They reminisce about their 13-year-old selves’ experience videoing their homemade big foot horror film. They dream up the wild idea doing a remake the 1997 “Anaconda” film. Unable to secure proper financing, they set out anyway for 3 weeks in the Amazon with their other childhood friends, Claire (Thandie Newton) & Kenny (Steve Zahn), on a shoe string budget. Of course, it’s a comedy of errors as everything that could go wrong, does go wrong. If you are a fan of Rudd & Black, you’ll pretty much know what you’ll be getting. It’s over-the-top zany humor as the film pokes fun at the original Sony picture & the horror genre. This action comedy also slips in an illegal gold smuggling plot into the storyline. Look for a surprise cameo or two.
Alien gives it 3 “movie rights” stars out of 4.
