I couldn't even finish this book because it was boring. Any sexual tension was non-existent -- the main character runs from the room when she receives any attention from the man she supposedly loves. Egad! Keep looking if you want an interesting read.

This movie is complete trash. Don't go out of you way at all to see this. There is nothing entertaining in it except maybe a couple of interesting scenes containing gore. One scene the aligator jumps along the side of the boat. When the water settles you see the deputy has no head anymore, it was cleanly taken of at the neck. I gave it two stars only because it had decent visuals. Do not see this. If you want to see a horror mutant animal movie go see Deep Blue Sea or ANY others, just not this piece of garbage. Let's see if this review pisses any lake placid fan off.

Once again good spfx are wasted on a really bad movie. The script is perhaps the worst offender(if you don't count the cliched camera work and rancid score), giving decent actors nothing better to do than spout off terrible one-liners and smirk. If no one in the cast can take the giant croc serious then how can the audience? This film is by-the-numbers cinema of the worst kind. Cynical, condescending and just plain annoying, LAKE PLACID is a the cinematic equivalent of a pile of garbage. See ALLIGATOR instead.

This is the worst film of last year. There is nothing positive to say about it. The script is a joke, the actors are irritating, especially Bridget Fonda and the dialouge is not at all funny. If you wanna flushyour money down the toilet then go right ahead. I am still wondering why I bought it. It's just a risk you take by buying a movie you haven't seen. Somtimes they are really good and somtimes they are bad but this one is the worst movie I've bought.

The few scenes with the CGI croc are pretty damn good. Too bad they didn't stay with it.This seems to have been done by people who don't get the horror genre--and it shows. Too bad. Could have been something truly great.

If you like giant crocodile movies, this is an A+.Great effects, some lively dialogue, more humor than you'd expect in a movie of this kind, and an effective plot. Not too scary for most kids over 12.Some good work by the actors, perhaps especially Oliver Platt and the actor playing the sheriff (whose name escapes me, alas). And Betty White is a delight!
