Lake Placid, one of the stupidest movies to come around in a long time (and quite short too) isn't worth the price of admission. There's not much to review here. Basic plot: a 30 ft. Asian crocodile (migrated from Asia?) is found in a lake (not Lake Placid - that name was already taken) and it starts to eat deputies and wildlife. What to do? Kill it? No - that's too easy - let's capture it because it is a miracle of nature. Let's then combine with the 30 ft. crocodile some actors who must be desparate for work to accept starring in this movie. I'm sure Bill Pullman and Bridgett Fonda can get better roles than in this movie. I wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy. Although the crocodile special effects were pretty cool, nothing - not even the trash talking former Golden Girl Betty White - could save this movie. If you need your fill for a scary movie, check out the superb Blair Witch Project and stay as far away as possible from this movie.
