Absolutely brilliant

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I rated this movie poorly, I see that in a box above this box. This movie is about snakes, or I guess one snake that's really big, but maybe it's about something else, y'know, like some deeper meaning. Nope, I just checked, it's solely about the really big snake, a python to be exact. So do you ever wonder why movies are made? Like for instance this movie, what was the point of Python? Like artistic reasons? Was this supposed to be a comedy? I read a thing that said it was a made-for-TV-movie, why do that? Who is that for? Was nothing else on TV that night? OK the plot to Python, big ole snake come he eats people the people stop him, probably, like at the ending maybe some crap like the snake had babies or something, I don't remember.

Python is not a film that can be fairly rated based on normal film standards. Instead it must be rated on what are called "party standards." Party standards represent how much fun you would have watching this film at a crazy party. From the opening Lesbian scene (my name is Roberta), to Kenny the Closer's attempt at an affiar, Python is an absolute blast to watch with friends. Unfortunately, I must rate it based on normal movie standards. The acting is below Uwe Boll standards. The special effects are far below Uwe standards. The whole movie is something that would've come out of Uwe Bolls butt on a bad day. The attempts at comedy are much funnier than intended. The attempts at horror are funnier than intending. The attempts at drama aren't there. The whole movie is bad, bad, bad. But go ahead. Rent it with a bunch of your friends. Just prepare yourself for a film that has a better chance of killing you with excessive laughter than Borat.

If you want to see a movie that offers intellectual stimulation and great performances watch THE HOURS or CLOSER.If it's Sunday afternoon and you're watching the Sci-Fi Channel wearing headphones because the rest of the family is living normal lives, here's your movie.Get a big mug of iced tea and a box of Wheat Thins. You're going to waste two hours of your life, but have fun doing so.A giant snake terrorizes a small town in California. Some people will be snake snacks but you'll probably be able to hold back the tears.They tried. Lord only knows, the people making this really put forth some effort. The special effects aren't really bad considering that they had so little money to spend.And goodness knows they got more bang for the buck than the producers of bloated mainstream movies like SUPERMAN RETURNS: how they blew $300 million on that I'll never understand.I'm not going to include any spoilers here, but here's a hint on figuring out which characters will or won't survive. The actors whose names you would recognize (Wil Wheaton and Jenny McCarthy come immediately to mind) got paid more per day than the total unknowns. Since the big attraction here is snakes eating people...well, you can figure it out for yourselves.The seven ranking may seem unusually generous. I'll admit that we had cheese tortellini for lunch and strawberry shortcake for dessert. After that meal even a total crapfest like THE English PATIENT would have been enjoyable.

A giant Python being transported by plane kills the Co-Pilot (Marc McClure) and than busts up the plane, causing it to fall near a small town. For the first half of the movie, the snake wreaks havoc in the town, killing people that all happen to have a connection to one John Cooper (Frayne Rosanoff) So, of course the cops think it's him. For the second half, John and his friends (Sara Mornell, Dana Barron, Wil Wheaton) Go out to a house outside the town, being followed by some cops (William Zabka, Sean Whalen, Gary Grubbs), the person in charge of the python (Robert Englund), A FBI agent (Casper Van Dien) And of course... the Python.First of all, it was surprising seeing some big names in this movie: Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street series) and Jenny McCarthy (Scream 3, Scary Movie 3). Even the unknowns did a swell job acting.Richard Clabaugh, director, has some experience with horror, having worked in some horror movies (Waxwork, The Prophecy, Campfire Tales, Phantoms) so he did alright.The movie itself plays as a regular CGI snake creature feature with some great bits: Robert Englund's love for a tiny snake, the opening scene was well done, a girl running around in a towel for about half the movie, explosions, all the stuff to make a good "B" movie.So, welcome to the vat of so good it's bad movies, Python! If you're a fan of these types of movies, check it out! And of course, the snake is as CGI as ever.
