If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

LAKE PLACID 2, a straight-to-video follow-up to a lame comedy/horror movie that I absolutely hated, is actually far more fun than it has any right to be. That's because this is a B-movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, while all the while offering up a reasonable quotient of nudity and cheesy gore effects to satisfy the most jaded of viewers.In this film, residents of a local town are flummoxed when not one, not two, but three, giant crocodiles begin terrorising them from a local lake. Given that this is a low budget production, what it boils down to is a bunch of character roaming the woods and lakeside and getting bumped off one by one by some extremely dodgy-looking CGI effects.As a whole, LAKE PLACID 2 is shoddily made and there seems to be an awful lot of continuity errors that crept their way into the production. Watch out for the awful-looking CGI plane that randomly disappears in one shot, and one guy's gun changing type in another. The acting is expectedly bad - including from the guy playing the Sheriff, John Schneider, a one-time heart-throb for his leading role in THE DUKES OF HAZZARD - but the effects are even worse, even by genre standards. Still, the cheesy gore effects count for something, and there are a ton of bimbo actresses willing to strip off for guys who like that stuff.

For the blind and deaf director and producer.Were they even there whilst making this? Or did they ask the baker and the hairdresser to do it instead? No wait.. That's not fair for them. They would likely have done a better job...But the acting was done extremely poor as well. I had the feeling they were reading an autocue instead of showing some real acting. But what to expect from our hero, his main experience was from the dukes of hazard. In short, I have waisted an hour and a half with this abomination of a film. You wonder why I have given a 2? Me 2, I thought it wasn't as awful as a 1 but after have written this I feel stupid I haven't rated as a 1.

A sequel and a remake, but inferior in every respect to the original. The two best recognized performers in this installment (Schneider – of "Dukes of Hazzard" fame – and Leachman, a once serious actress) are also the greatest shames. Schneider is a carbon copy of Bill Pullman's easy-going, water of a croc's back authority figure, while Leachman is essentially the same character as Bette White (in fact she's supposed to be her equally quirky sister). There's nothing new in the storyline, and no surprises with the climax.LaFleur is enigmatic and as equally alluring as Bridget Fonda in the original, but her character is less dynamic, without the eccentricities that made Fonda's character so appealing. Still, she's definitely a big tick in terms of talent for the male audiences. Schneider has the best of the conceited dialogue, and there's an occasional chuckle-worthy line to make you think you're not wasting valuable minutes of your life.Unfortunately, there's a lot of misery in this misfire – sagging momentum, stilted continuity, drab score, amateur acting and staging, pretentious dialogue and visible errors, and so it's surprising that it managed to secure the official sequel title, its predecessor, still regaled as a hallmark of the genre.

This is lame follow-up to "Lake Placid". This time the acting is at best mediocre, the script awful and the computer graphics exceedingly poor. If the budget was a tenth of "Lake Placid" it is still a poor excuse for the production company.And not just the computer graphics is real bad, continuity stinks as well - daddy sheriff borrows a grenade launcher which he saves his son and gal with, but when they exits the wood minutes later it is just a rifle - how did that happen?! Then in a few scenes later he has it again?!And what about the topless gals - if you have no script, add a few nudes, so we don't notice the other of the movie's weaknesses?!?!Anaconda is a masterpiece compared to this one - avoid!
