Here are some customer reviews of
Lake Placid (Widescreen Edition)
: Lake Placid will never be Jaws, but then what can top an original? I enjoyed this movie, if only for Betty White. The FX were excellent, story fair, but Ms. White's character stole the show. I'm sure she wasen't the only one rooting for the Crocodile!
 I keep comparing this to Jaws. Why can't any animal horror movie be better than Jaws - for 25 years! ) I don't even find Anaconda impressive, yet this is called "this year's Anaconda". The casts are either soulless (Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman) or annoying (Oliver Platt).
 Lake Placid was great, it is alot like Jaws only they got all of the facts right. I mean they never screwed up, crocodiles really can get that big, but the one thing that stumped me was how an Asianic crocodile could be found in Maine. My favorite part of the movie is when the croc takes out a GRIZZLY BEAR in like 5 seconds it was really cool. Also don't let the R of this movie scare you its really the language - not the gore . A great movie overall
I could not wait for this movie to come out in theaters in 1999, and amongst my friends I was the only one. Why, because it's a cheesy movie about a giant Crocodile in Maine! But if you like monster movies Lake Placid is definitely for you. When the crocodile isn't chomping away at cows or deputies you'll be too busy laughing your butt off at Betty White's tirade of cuss words toward law enforcement! The back and forth bickering between the rich, eccentric crocodile hunter and the local sheriff is hilarious. In fact it was often difficult to figure out if this was a comedy or horror. It's a little bit of both. But Lake Placid can definitely be labelled ENTERTAINING and well worth its purchase price. So if you haven't seen it yet what are you waiting for?
I Saw This Movie In The Theater, It Was One Of The Best Movies, I`ve Ever Seen In My Entire Life. Very Scary....You Will Jump, The Plot Is Great, And The "old woman" Is Hilarious, I Wouldn`t Even Rent It First, Go Ahead And Buy It, www.amazon.com Rulez. And Don`t Forget To Rent/Buy Deep Blue Sea, In December.....It Was Also An Extremely Good Horror Movie, Nothing Funny About A Shark That Tears Up People Faster Than You Can Blink Your Eyes.
