Paul Rudd and Jack Black's Anaconda Remake Is a Ridiculous but Heartfelt Gag Gift: Review

It's a good thing Anaconda isn't meant to be a horror movie, because the few times it tries for such moments, it's not great at it.

However, the end result is a movie far less scary than its campy 1997 predecessor, but far funnier - on purpose.
