We rented Snakes on a Plane from Netflix the day it was out. Knowing full well what I’d done, the only real problem I had with it was that it was almost too good (relatively speaking). That is to say, I don’t think the producers and writers truly embraced the inanity of the concept and filled the movie with a variety of scenes that loosely resembled a plot. In other words, I’m not sure it was bad enough to become a cult classic which is kind of a shame.

It was good fun though and the lovely and talented wife and I exchanged more than one high-five as we watched. I won’t recommend this movie. You already know if you want to see it or not—go with your gut.
