Intentional low camp always seems wrong unless it's very funny; in trash, one wants clumsiness, even a certain tackiness, and this movie has the production values and the high-tech fluency of a much bigger movie.
A triumph of high-concept but low-ambition filmmaking.
There's a certain knee-jerk impulse to bash Snakes, just because of all the ridiculous buildup, but the film delivers on its promise of reptilian fun, with a camp mix of comedy, horror and suspense.
The plot is ridiculous and the characters are cardboard, but none of that really matters once the snakes get into the fuselage and start zapping people, the very definition of entertainment.
This Internet-promoted lark about a Hawaii-to-L.A. flight besieged by a frenzied tangle of snakes is hilariously funny, full of fang-popping scares, and guaranteed to increase travel by train.
When 'fans' respond to an unabashedly silly title like Snakes on a Plane and start riffing on it, how seriously do they mean for their suggestions to be taken?
A movie about snakes on a plane does not need to be straightforward; it only has a shot if it is either genuinely scary or so incredibly over the top it's funny. Snakes on a Plane is neither, but maybe Snakes on a Boat will be better.
Few studio-supported films match its B-movie nirvana of stupid-goodness. It's exactly what its title suggests and more ? the proof in the primal levels ranging from basic exploited fears to the crowd?s roaring reactions and howls of humor or horror.
...the film feels oddly flat, generating more curiosity and laughter than actual thrills. (Blu-ray Edition)
A snarky genre exercise and its own late-night sketch parody, it parades nothing so much as the force of the public's lowered expectations
Although the film's production company New Line retooled the movie from a PG-13 to an R rating with ideas and dialogue from web fans, "Snakes On A Plane" is a boring ride.
It hurts so good. Mike, Cro, Tom, we need you...
Its genre elements are completely honed down to their basest elements and exploited for the most fun possible.
Even if viewed entirely on its own terms, this film, like any snake, tapers at its end.
it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Imposible tomarse en serio semejante disparate, pero lo que sí uno puede hacer es relajarse, echarse para atrás en el sofá, y disfrutar...
Its trash pic spirit locates funny nuances of human behaviour.
With entertainment this cardboard and weightless, isn't a response like disappointment disproportionately complex?
