"Lake Placid" is worth it just for Betty White's performance. The movie, however, is one of my favorites because of its sense of fun and campiness. It's part horror and part comedy, which brings an interesting mix of scenes to the... Full review

"The special effects aren't bad, but as a monster movie Lake Placid is, well, placid.
The occasional moments of blood and gore are likewise played for laughs, another source of mild titillation.

If there is a problem with the film, it is....The cast is good, playing the funny lines as humor that arises from the characters....Fortunately, despite occasional lapses like this, the film is not bad..... ... Full Review

Lake Placid" is a matinee creature-feature that has only a vague idea of how funny it is, even going so far as to throw pet-messiah Betty White into its campy mix.
If the tiny death toll and the fact that that big-ass croc never really does more than lurk aren't total bummers, "Lake Placid" is junky fun while you're waiting (in vain) for erstwhile Coreys (Haim and Feldman) museMeredith Salenger or Oliver Platt's reptile-phile to get it.
