Holy shit, people, THIS MOVIE ROCKED!!! No, I'm being serious - I REALLY enjoyed this movie! All you need to do to enjoy this movie is go in with the right mindset, and like me, you'll be howling with laughter the entire time.
You don't really need more explanation of the plot than what's in the title, but just in case anyone was wondering how those snakes got on that plane...after witnessing a gangster kill a prosecutor, Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips) is in the witness protection program and is being transported from Hawaii to LA. The agent who has been charged with looking after him is Neville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson). The gangster decides that the best way to eliminate the witness is therefore to put lots of snakes on that plane...and the story writes itself!
Okay, anyone walking into this movie expecting anything more than 1.5 hours of complete dumbass fun...man, you deserve to feel ripped off. Anyone who wants to see a move where Sam Jackson does a lot of yelling, makes crazy eyes, and kicks the shit out of a bunch of snakes...THIS IS IT. He makes this movie!!! And it's full of Sam Jackson-esque quotes delivered Sam Jackson style!
"Do as I say and you'll live! "
"Great, snakes on crack."
(When Sean complains that it's getting hot on the plane) "I'm from Tennessee, I didn't notice! "
(After pulling out his gun) "We're about to open some fucking windows"
And the absolute clincher -
"Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"
Not only was this movie full of fun and disgusting ways for snakes to kill people (snakes on a nipple, snakes on a penis, snakes in the eye, swallowed by an anaconda...) it also has fun ways for people to kill snakes! I thought it was damn hilarious that while everyone was freaking out, Sam Jackson just picks up and throws the first snake he sees!
This is a wonderfully crappy movie that thrives in its crappiness. There are all the cliched characters with all their cliched plot sections - the stewardess on her last flight, the sexist pilot, the campy steward, the fat woman, the snotty brit, the rich princess with the chihuahua, the boy who's meant to look after his little whiny brother, the kickboxer, the hip-hop star and his entourage, the newly married couple...all brought together and under the command of the badassmotherf@#$er FBI agent after some snakes take over their plane.
If you're in need of some cheering up and wanna do some public hooting, see this movie. Sit back and enjoy the pure-B gradedness of the whole thing and you'll walk out satisfied.
8/10
As an extra, here's a complete walkthrough of the movie if you want to *prepare* yourself.
