Reviews are spilling in for the Anaconda re-whatever. It's sort of hard to tell whether they're actually positive or not, however. Here's a snippet from Variety's review to give you a taste:
Gormican’s “Anaconda” may be a one-joke exercise (make that two jokes, if you count the repeated sampling of the “My anaconda don’t want none” line from ’90s rap classic “Baby Got Back”), but it’s hard not to admire the nerve of whichever studio exec greenlit it. The script, which Gormican penned with Kevin Etten, spends a fair amount of time parsing whether it’s a reboot, a reimagining or a “spiritual sequel” to the 1997 movie, when in fact, it’s a ballsy all-of-the-above treatment of the material.
The reviewer adds:
It’s the kind of “high” concept a bunch of stoners might kick around on a podcast (the way Kevin Smith spitballed the idea for body-horror prank “Tusk”). With such a premise, audiences can reasonably expect two things. First, it should be amusing to watch these knuckleheads struggle to make a professional-looking motion picture, especially if they have to contend with an unforeseen anaconda. And second, we want to see the end result, which should be so bad, it’s even funnier than the original “Anaconda.”
Have you seen it yet? Thoughts?
