Summary: Lake Placid is not good
Review: Boring, Stupid, A couple of laughs. Oliver Platt is funny, but the movie is an overall FLOP! CHEER for the alligator to destroy all the evidence!

Summary: It's a monster movie but it's also a comedy
Review: Another monster movie. Quite exciting actually except for the lousy ending. Good performances by Brendan Gleeson and Betty White. The same cannot be said to Bridget Fonda though. She is the weakest factor in the movie beside the ending. But the DVD is quite good. Good picture quality and good Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Deep Blue Sea is a better movie though. But for ultimate monster movie try "The Relic"

Summary: No Different than a 50s Monster Movie
Review: LAKE PLACID * * The one about the giant alligator in a Maine lake, with a script by David E. Kelley ("The Practice", "Ally McBeal"). I have no idea why money was spent on a thriller no different than a 50s monster movie, but it's reasonably entertaining and any movie with Bridget Fonda is a worth checking out. Betty White is kind of amusing as a foul-mouthed local, and there's a pretty cool gore scene in the beginning.

Summary: see "deep blue sea" instead
Review: i gave this two stars because of the gore and maybe a couple scares.deep blue sea was extremely more scarier than this.this movie is very boring.even though it says it is supposed to be funny it is not for me.probably because it is dark humor and that doesnt make me laugh,(except for "jawbreaker" with Rose Mcgowan!)you might like this,you might noti know this movie will never get any stars except for maybe 1 because of Oliver Platt

Summary: was expecting more deaths
Review: I was expecting to see a classic monster movie, full of wit, good special effects, and a very high body count. Only two of my three expectations were met..the dialogue is pretty good and actually carries the movie along; it does not slow the movie down. there are also several comedic scenes, such as the sheriff being caught by his own trap. the crocodile effects are very well done, using a mixture of animatronics and computer animation. but... my one big complaint with this movie. I wanted more people to become crocodile food. a bear here, a cow there, that does not count. you cannot have only a body count of two (at least on screen) people in a movie about a giant croc. this movie should be placed under 'comedy' at the local video store. deep blue sea was a much more satisfying monster movie that came out around the same time.

Summary: A Good Movie
Review: This movie was quite good because its about a remarkable crocodile who is 30ft long and is very scary but is taken as a pet by an old lady and at the end there is something really sweet.Though I'm going to type anymore. Watch this great movie.

Summary: Disappointing.
Review: I really found this film boring. The actors try too hard, the special effects look fake as, the direction is absolutely awful and the screenplay is even worse. So all of you who saw it is a masterpeice of work and a great comedy, I think you should look more carefully at the film's quality. I mean, more time is spent on land than in the sea and you get scared from the actors not the crocodile. I think you should see 'Deep Blue Sea' - it is seriously sooo much better.

Summary: One of the Best Creature Features of the 90s!
Review: It's not too often you see those great creature features anymore, and when you do...they are usually a disappointment. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see the new Steve Miner film "Lake Placid". The work of David E. Kelly (writer, Ally McBeal) is very evident with the witty comebacks by Betty White (who adds the laughs to the film). And who could forget the scene where Bridget Fonda complains about all the heads flying at her! If you like dark comedies, this if for you. And if you like horror films, this is also for you. There is plenty of gore, plenty of laughs, and enough suspense to keep you interested. This is a great film that combines the comedy from David E. Kelly and the scary stuff from Steve Miner.

Summary: What a rip-off!
Review: This movie is one of the worst! The plot is extrimly stuped! Basicly; it's about a giant crocodile, that lives in this lake, and eats people. And this is the dumbest part: an old lady takes care of the monster by feeding it cows! It is sooooooo dumb! I don't know why they rated it R...it's not scary, and has just a little language. The reason i gave it two stars is because i did like the special effects, i thought the crocodile was cool, but the plot was just awful.

Summary: Great Entertaining Movie
Review: No, "lake Placid" won't make your blood curdle like "Jaws", it is simply one entertaining movie. The cast is well used and great like:Oliver Platt,Bridget Fonda,Bill Pullman, and scene stealer Betty White. One highpoint of the movie is when the gator feasts on a huge grizzly bear. Also memorable is when Betty White says f**k to the sheriff. The attack scenes are well shot and the special effects are surprisingly good. There's not much gore in the movie, but it still may scare grade school children. I fully recommend "Lake Placid" as great entertainment...
