A giant alligator and Betty White yelling profanities! Amazing! Bridget Fonda is great and hey...Oliver Platt!

Good dark humored fun. I remember renting this from blockbuster on VHS as a kid so carries nostalgia feels for me. Decent movie.

Definitely a B movie but still entertaining enough

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.

Big gators eating people. Crazy old lady. Good show

DinoRhino

So good! A brilliant Parody of Jaws, with a great cast, yet not being too silly! It's a classic in my opinion. I strongly recommend it!

I actually liked it the croc looked real (unlike the other movies) and is just fun to watch

MoviesAndSeries

Really wished I had seen this earlier. Loved the crocodile, characters and man was it funny to watch

This 🎥 isn’t 1 I’d watch more than once … HOWEVER … Betty White’s expletive filled baby croc feeding character merits several returns.

BladeGuy

Definitely better than I thought it’d be. Decent action good acting and Betty White like I had never seen her was nice surprise

Tonally confused horror comedy, crocodile takes a back seat for supposedly witty banter and romance for much of the movie

moviebuff98

Out of the long line of jaws knock offs lake placid is on par with its likable characters, practical effects, and the giant croc itself.

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

sharkhunter

One of my all time favorite cult classic monster movies.

EpicJosh

Jaws but it’s a crocodile instead of a shark, also it’s a (somewhat) comedy

clhengel5021

A truly campy creature feature. Don't expect perfection with this one, just lots of dumb fun.

alexwright260069

if you like b movie creature flicks, then this is fun

Mickey_Laundry

Every once in awhile this movie is good. Find the right time to watch this when nothing matters in your life, or late at night.

superficialnickname

Surprisingly decent movie about a rogue croc in some lake. It’ll keep you entertained as a popcorn flick.

Smeefan

Pretty dumb and not scary. Betty White is the only good thing about it
