Paul Rudd and Jack Black's Anaconda Remake Is a Ridiculous but Heartfelt Gag Gift: Review

It's a good thing Anaconda isn't meant to be a horror movie, because the few times it tries for such moments, it's not great at it. The first reveal of the titular giant snake feels like an afterthought. The jump scares, while certainly startling in the moment, are pretty well-telegraphed in advance. However, the end result is a movie far less scary than its campy 1997 predecessor, but far funnier - on purpose.
