A catchphrase, a marketing triumph, a hipster phenomenon. Fortunately, it’s also a slyly entertaining flick divorced from all that.

So as a thriller/comedy/horror/survival mashup, “Snakes on a Plane” squeaks by simply because it unashamedly embraces its cheesiness and absurdity.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2022

An unforgettable phenomenon, based on a forgettable movie (15th anniversary)

Good bad fun right through to the crazed final act, and Samuel L. Jackson's ridiculous performance as the FBI agent who just wants to kick some asp is guilty-pleasure gold.

The fact is, the film isn't as bad as it wants to be, which isn't a good thing if you are going for that campy B horror movie feel.

The giddy awfulness of it all that makes it what it is - a wildly entertaining bad movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2019

This is a good-looking film, and Jackson is just so much fun to watch. The other horror films that are out there? This one's a slither above them all.

A movie about snakes on a plane does not need to be straightforward; it only has a shot if it is either genuinely scary or so incredibly over the top it's funny. Snakes on a Plane is neither, but maybe Snakes on a Boat will be better.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 30, 2011

Few studio-supported films match its B-movie nirvana of stupid-goodness. It's exactly what its title suggests and more ? the proof in the primal levels ranging from basic exploited fears to the crowd?s roaring reactions and howls of humor or horror.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 8, 2010

A snarky genre exercise and its own late-night sketch parody, it parades nothing so much as the force of the public's lowered expectations

Although the film's production company New Line retooled the movie from a PG-13 to an R rating with ideas and dialogue from web fans, "Snakes On A Plane" is a boring ride.

It hurts so good. Mike, Cro, Tom, we need you...

Full Review | Jul 10, 2007

Its genre elements are completely honed down to their basest elements and exploited for the most fun possible.

Even if viewed entirely on its own terms, this film, like any snake, tapers at its end.

Its trash pic spirit locates funny nuances of human behaviour.

With entertainment this cardboard and weightless, isn't a response like disappointment disproportionately complex?
