Look, this is in no way a good movie. But it's an exceedingly dumb good time with a lot of actors you enjoy not taking this at all seriously

Betty White is firmly pro-crocodile in the cop vs croc debate.
Doesn’t rank as high as Tremors or Arachnophobia for me, but it’s a fun time.

Dumb fun with a great mix of comedy, action and horror. The effects still hold up extremely well and Betty White is a national treasure.
