Jack Black and Paul Rudd charm in this hilarious meta-comedy remake.
Doug and Griff have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favourite movie: the cinematic "classic" Anaconda.
When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? It might just get them killed.
This creature feature works best when it allows its two stars to lean into silliness – which it does.. a lot! – although it’s not quite Steve Martin’s similarly themed comedy Bowfinger, it shares more DNA with that movie than some silly giant snake.
