Lake Placid is total trash--and, as a result, fairly entertaining. Yet another entry in the horror subgenre of giant animals running amok, Lake Placid features a giant crocodile that has somehow found its way to an isolated lake in Maine. The absurdity of crocodiles in Maine sets the tone for the entire movie, which has no ambitions beyond mixing a little fright with a little humor. Bridget Fonda (Point of No Return, Jackie Brown) plays a paleontologist sent to investigate a large tooth; Bill Pullman (Independence Day, Lost Highway) is a fish and game warden just trying to keep the peace; Oliver Platt (Funny Bones, Flatliners) plays a loose-cannon mythology professor who swims with crocodiles for sport; and Brendan Gleeson (an excellent but little-known actor, most noted for The General) is a local sheriff with a short temper and a big gun. Add a few gruesome dismemberments, Betty White as a cantankerous old broad who may have murdered her husband, and a cow hanging from a helicopter, and there you have it: Lake Placid. (Curiously, this concoction was put together by David E. Kelley, better known as the creator of TV's Ally McBeal and The Practice.) --Bret Fetzer

Description

An investigative team, armed with state-of-the-art equipment, high powered weaponry and a biting sense of sarcasm, must work together to defeat Black Lake's most ferocious resident: a 30-foot prehistoric crocodile! Betty White co-stars as the cantankerous Mrs. Bickerman - a role you've got to hear to believe - in this terrifying tale of survival that "combines humor and thrills with remarkable deftness."

A Wacky Comedy of a Horror Movie.......2007-06-30

There are so few movies like this one, and it's hard to categorize it. I like it, but it would not have worked at all without a few things:
1. Miss Betty White and her sailor mouth. I wish I had her for a grandma. I want to be like that when I'm old.
2. They don't show too much of the monster, a 30-foot crocodile. This leaves you wanting more, and that's good. No overkill.
3. The mix of comedy and gore/thrills works very well here. More horror movie writers and directors should remember that it's really fun to get scared and then laugh your brains out, or to laugh and then be scared stupid.
4. The dynamic between the mystic nutjob and the sheriff is good. These two burly jerks are actually a lot alike (stubborn, pigheaded), which makes their animosity realistic.

Basically this movie is just a fun ride. It makes no sense but it's a hoot.

A five star popcorn movie........2007-06-03

I've just finished watching it and now I've restarted the DVD so I can write this review as I watch it. The bottom line on this movie is basicly you take all of the mutant animal type movies, gators, sharks, and so on Lake Placid is probably the best put together, written, acted, and directed movie of them all. It is not boring.

PROS:

1. It has actors that can act. That's a star.
2. A director that can direct. Thats a star.
3. A writer who can write. That's a star.
4. The movie is a variation of several older ideas I have already named above but is carried out in an interesting way--the acting, and writing. That's a star. The idea is a croc finds it way to a back water lake, sets up housekeeping, and years later gets to be 30 feet long--that's a lot of croc! The local sheriff -- poor guy- seems to be hated by the entire world. He seems to have been born in a world full of sarcastic people that hate him. He gets it from everybody in the movie all the way up to Betty White. Everytime they find a head he gets slapped. Everytime he ask a simple question someone unloads on him. The croc, of course, has to live in his area. The scientist arrive, they go after the croc, he goes with them, one of them slaps him (the heads), one calls him fatty, Betty White calls him Sherlock--after Sherlock Homes. Yep...that sheriff is cannon folder for the universe. I will say, he gave back as much as he got--real funny.
5. There is some cussing, not a huge amount--certainly not like they usually do in these modern movies...just occasionally.
six. There is a lot of dialogue in this movie and is a big part of the interesting and funny parts. It is what seperates this movie from almost all monster movies. A nice song from Tom Jones (It's Not Unusual) that adds to the atmosphere and part of one of the song from the Partridge Family (I Think I Love You)--I'm not sure but it didn't sound like them singing.
7. Few sub plots here so most of the movie is about the monster hunt--what sub plots there are help with the movie.

That's that.

CONS:

1. There isn't much in the way of CONS: for this type of popcorn movie. It is plenty interesting, funny, and lots of sharp wit to who enjoy a sharp sarcastic retort in realitly. I do.

So there it is. I recommend this movie to the popcorn crowd and those of us who like that sharp wit in our movies--Casablanca had some. Considering the movie has some fine writing and acting I recommend the full spread, popcorn, a couple of hot dogs, and something to wash it down with. Bye!

P.S. Buy, don't rent.

cheap and lame........2007-06-02

Amazon has recommended this movie for me because I own joes apartment. And what does this movie have to do with joes apartment? Ok onto my review this movie was extremely cornyer than deep blue sea the graphics were so cheap. That lady from the golden girls rose plays the person who caused the gator to grow by feeding it fat cows for 6 years and her husband got eaten and didn't report it. I don't remember most of the storyline but it was stupid and pointless and I thought deep blue sea was dumb.

One Of The Greatest Horror-Comedy-Action Movies Ever; Thrilling Fun.......2007-05-23

A giant crocidile wreaks havoc in an otherwise idyllic lake. It sounds like it could, if done right, be a pretty good monster movie, but by utilizing the crocodile to far-better-than-expected effect, by loading twenty times as much genuine comedy as can be found in many box-office blockbusters marketed under the 'comedy' heading, by managing to keep all the humor from turning the movie into a stupid self-spoof, and by loading "Lake Placid" up with an uncommonly great array of characters, the fillmmakers have managed to hit on total excellence.

The first attack comes during a routine survey of the title lake by a wildlife official, accompanied by the local sherriff (Brendan Gleeson, who manages to steal scene after scene against a host of better-known and very talented co-performers). The initial tone set is light and comedic, and the sudden (and unexpectedly bloody) slaughter of the surveyor is a quick example of how the movie switches gears back and forth between moods like slice-of-life-tranquil (GORGEOUS lake/forest setting), laugh-out-loud funny, and high-speed gory action-horror on a dime. A full team of police is dispatched to stake out the lake and investigate, another wildlife expert (Bill Pullman) is sent in; the recovery in the remains of the original victim of a tooth that matches prehistoric crocs closer than modern-day ones results in the arrival of a paleontologist (Bridget Fonda), whose prescence makes no sense at all to either herself or the other members of the group, but her boyfriend/musuem boss thought sending her off on a wild goose chase into the woods was a good way to get rid of her after she discovers his affair with another musuem worker (good grief, that sounds preposterous writing it, but in the tone of the movie's sometimes-comedy vibe, it actually felt appropriate). To top off the gang, a maverick reptile expert/adventurer (Oliver Platt) shows up hoping to swim with the crocodile and commune with it. An eclectic crew to say the least, although they seem kind of normal compared to the widow (Betty White) who lives on the lake and her offers her own unique opinions on the happenings.

How does one describe this without making it sound generic? For starters, "Lake Placid" is far more clever than one would think, more clever than, I think, they usually even try to go with action-comedies, which is how they seemed to be presenting this in its marketing, although the movie fits very well under the horror banner as well. The characters are original, not just stock players that get trotted out quite frequently to fight sharks and the like, the dialogue is witty, credible, and flows naturally. The action takes off like a rocket at times, there are some jolting scares, a surprising amount of sexiness (that female deputy added a lot; she was another of the major players) and little romantic dashes. The ending is completely atypical for a 'killer beast' movie, very original, not telegraphed at all, and actually very refreshing. The effects are high-caliber and the acting universally top-notch.

"Lake Placid" is a total success on every level it applies itself, and that was more levels than I thought it would go for, more than it even had to. Possibly more than wold have seemed wise - the contrasting styles could have ended up tripping over one another, but instead it was balanced extremely well. Great movie; whole-heartedly recommended.

Fluffy -- but it has Rose and Miranda.......2007-05-20

This is a goofy, lightweight Australian comedy about a teenaged genius named Placid Lake who forsakes his hippie upbringing after suffering continual physical abuse at the hands of school classmates. So, he dresses like George W. Bush and joins an insurance firm. Of course, things don't turn out quite as planned.

I don't watch THE OFFICE (British or American versions) but I imagine the quirky comedy in those must be something like this. If it weren't for the brazenly sexual moments (sans nudity), this would make a television sitcom... or it might still make a television sitcom.

The movie has dreams of being a profound message film but the result is so lacking in depth that it winds up half-hearted -- spinning mixed messages on the issues of parental expectations, conformity and non-conformity, and a not-so-mixed message on vengeance. So, pick your interpretation. Or better yet, don't bother. Just enjoy the pastel visuals (this was obviously not an American production), the charming actors and just-funning attitude.

Two of my favorites are here. Britisher Miranda Richardson and Aussi Rose Byrne (looking like the prettiest girl-geek ever). Coincidently, when I first saw Rose (THE GODDESS OF 1967), I kept thinking of other actresses she reminded of -- Jessica Alba, Shannon Doherty, and Miranda Richardson. Too bad Miranda plays the boy's mother here.

"Let me live through your young loins.".......2006-12-21

The idea behind the Australian comedy film, "The Rage In Placid Lake" is clever and intriguing. Placid Lake (Ben Lee) is, as his first name implies, the child of crystal waving, meditating hippies. He's brought up by his parents to challenge the realities of society--for example, one day his mother packs him off to school dressed as a girl in order to challenge his classmates' notions of sex roles. As Placid grows up, he's ridiculed and picked on mercilessly at school, and although he adopts various strategies to cope with bullies, his life is fairly miserable. Placid's school life culminates in his student film "Life is Super Dooper" ("Leni Riefenstahl would have been proud"). And even though Placid tries to avoid trouble, he also seems to court it at the oddest moments.

In adulthood, Placid wants to be 'normal' and with the goal of reinventing himself, he takes a job at an insurance company. The notion that Placid may become normal horrifies his delinquent parents (Miranda Richardson and Garry McDonald) who interpret Placid's attempts at a career as 'rebellion'. They even go as far as trying to deprogramme their only son.

The best scenes in the film occur at the Icarus Insurance Company, and it's here that Placid learns that being normal isn't particularly enviable. The film does a marvelous job of showing how Placid mimics his 'normal' supervisor while picking up behavioural cues that put him on the "fast track" to success. The weakest moments in the film involve the parents. They're terribly exaggerated, and a lot of the humour just falls flat. There's also a subplot involving a friendship/romance with Placid's childhood friend, Gemma (Rose Byrne) that tends to distract from the action at the insurance company. As it is, "The Rage In Placid Lake"-- written and directed by Tony McNamara--is a gentle but uneven comedy--displacedhuman

A Diamond in the Rough........2006-11-02

The Rage in Placid Lake is another gem to which my eyes were opened by the power of recommendation. It is that same recommendation that I now gladly distribute.

You may or may not have ever heard of Australian Indie Rocker Ben Lee. I cannot say that I am familiar with his catalog of music, but I can say that he was very entertaining as Placid Lake, our young protagonist who struggles to see how, or even if, his pure-bred individuality fits into today's conformist society.

Placid Lake is a rebel without a cause born of wildly outlandish parents who seem not to have their feet firmly planted anywhere near reality. His parents promote every activity for Placid to develop his own identity and to buck the system. After an accident, Placid wakes up in the hospital with a new-found drive to legitimize himself in the eyes of society; he wants to get a job selling insurance. The sharp contrast between his upbringing and his epiphany added cozy comic-relief to an intelligent story about the importance of "self."

The role models in Placid's life were polar extremes. He has his pacifist parents, who spend a little too much time disrobed around the home, and he has his manager at work, who is lost in middle management and has seemingly lost his ability to produce emotion.

The conversations that Placid has with his manager were my favorite aspect of the movie. Yes, his perspectives were narrow and extreme, but the points he made were poignant.

I also enjoyed Placid's best friend, Gemma. Gemma is a beautiful and intelligent young lady who is pushed urgently by her father to stay on track to someday make incredible breakthroughs in modern science. I like how she was written into the story in a way that Placid was able to do soul searching on behalf of them both. She was a first-hand witness to his journey into corporate monotony, from which they both learned valuable lessons about the direction of their lives.

Go ahead; see The Rage in Placid Lake. You won't be disappointed (well I hope not anyway!).

Garden State to the next level.......2005-06-06

If you like Garden State, this movie takes the same ideas to another level. Very real, interesting characters, and laugh out loud hysterical scenes. Ben Lee is great . . . loved it! My favorite from the Film Movement series so far, although followed closely by He Died With A Felafel In His Hand.

'The Rage in Placid Lake' is a gem........2005-03-19

I can't believe I didn't hear about this film when it was released. I must have missed The Movie Show that particular week. I saw the DVD on the shelf of my local video shop, while it was in the New Releases section. I saw the cover, loved the word-play in the title, and, thinking it was American, I told myself I would get it out when it gets moved to the weekly section.
I saw it, in the weekly section, some time later, and I read the blurb on the back and thought, `that sounds really interesting, I'll get it out someday'. Then last week, I picked it up again, and noticed the Australian Film Finance Corporation named on the back. I was in. I hired it, took it home, and loved every minute.
From the first scene, `The Rage in Placid Lake' sets itself up to be taken only semi-seriously. The parents of Placid Lake, our hero, are, as his name would suggest, extreme New Agers. We first meet Placid at primary school, where his mother drops him off in a dress, admonishing him to challenge the other children's pre-conceived notions of sexuality. Between flashbacks to his childhood, the film follows Placid's transition from school to work, which is fraught with stresses. Having failed to achieve happiness following his parents' advice, Placid takes a new tack: he gets his hair cut like George W. Bush, buys a suit, and lands a job with an insurance company. All of which is most distressing to his best friend Gemma, and his parents, who go to great lengths to shake him out of this Capitalist madness.
Writer and Director Tony McNamara has worked primarily in theatre, and has also written for television, including Southern Star's magnificent `The Secret Life of Us'. His background in the theatre, however, lends this film a very intimate and human touch. He had originally thought of this story as a play, but rightly judged it to be more suited to film, and made adjustments accordingly. The result is a film that stands out as something fresh, something that takes old ideas and stereotypes, and employs them to great effect.
While the characters in this film can be described as caricatures, Placid's journey into adulthood-his discovery of himself and of his relationships-resonates with such humanity that the suspension of disbelief is no effort. The pathos with which the characters are written boldly emphasises McNamara's assertion that we must be true to ourselves.
The most remarkable aspect of this film, however, remains the sad fact that so few people have seen it or even heard about it. It is an example of the magnificent films being produced in this country, and highlights the miserable plight of Australian filmmakers, overshadowed by the monstrous marketing ploys of their American counterparts. `The Rage in Placid Lake' may not quite be as noteworthy in the history of Australian film as `Jedda' or `Mad Max' or `Romper Stomper', but it makes a profound statement about humanity that sits somewhat uncomfortably in a world of Free Trade Agreements and `Wars on Terror'. What's more, it makes that statement beautifully.

Campy Humorous Horror.......2006-04-06

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've seen this turkey three times from beginning to end. The problem is that this is the kind of movie that in 20 years will be lampooned by a show like "Mystery Science Theater 3000," which tells you that the movie is campy and often funny.

Our story opens at a lake in Maine, locally called Lake Placid, though that is not the name of the lake (that name was already taken, said one of the characters). We see a diver in the lake investigating a beaver lodge, with periodic fake clues that something might be in the water. Of course you know that we won't see the something until the director is ready, with the goal that you might jump at least a little. The diver of course ends up losing a lot of weight (about 40% would be my guess), and a lot of blood, which then ends his life. Our "something" in the water leaves behind a little clue (a tooth), and Bridget Fonda has to be called in to find the something (she's a paleontologist, you see).

Bridget Fonda is hilarious. She is all New York with the Maine locals, and the usual contrast between someone that hasn't the foggiest idea how to survive in the country with people who spend most of their time in it is great for laughs. Bridget also gets hit with a variety of animal parts (by accident), which is generally disgusting to anyone, but for an urbanite it must be truly awful.

Bill Pullman plays the local sheriff, whose concept of animal control involves really big guns (from Bridget's point of view, he's definitely a hick). Bill plays this role so naturally that you have to wonder whether he could end up being typecast. Bill does several things that aren't very smart, and eventually he and Bridget come to middle ground (really middle by the end of the movie).

Of course, the real star is the crocodile. I guess crocodiles weren't content to stay in New York City; they had to migrate further north. The movie explains this with hand waving about warm weather and the gulf stream and a convenient excuse to plot a crocodile into a Maine lake (it connects with the sea, you see). The crocodile makes a number of digital appearances, and several mechanical ones, and is often believable and just as often not. How the crocodile was dealt with near the end was reasonably original.

No one is going to confuse this movie with quality. It's apparent that wasn't the director's intent in any case. This movie is played for campy laughs, and as such, it does a pretty decent job. This movie is the kind of movie that you watch with your significant other, in the dark, and with a bowl of popcorn on the table. It's not so much that it's a great movie, but it's very entertaining and just too much fun. Silly me, I'll be watching it again.
