Snakes on a Plane: The MuthaF*&$in' Review

Posted by Dorkafork

Snakes on a Plane lives up to the promise of its title. That's really the only way to describe it, by using the title as an adjective. Very Snakes on a Plane. Granted, it's possible there may have been a way to make Snakes on a Plane more Snakes on a Plane, but you watch the Snakes on a Plane you have, not the Snakes on a Plane you wish you had. I allow that it is possible, but I think it would have been hard to make a more Snakes on a Plane Snakes on a Plane. (Samuel L. Jackson could have said "muthaf*&#@in'" a little more. And Christopher Walken should have been in it: "Wow! There's a lot of... snakes... on this muthaf&^%#in plane...I can't believe it!")

That quibble aside, this is an example of Hollywood magic. The stars aligned to put Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane. Besides Samuel L. Jackson, Snakes on a Plane's main strengths are:

1) Snakes
2) A plane
3) On

**NOT SPOILERS since none of the following is true**
The movie begins where you might expect, the super secret origin of "the Snakes" and how they got their "on a Plane" powers. There's also a flashback where we see Samuel L. Jackson's father being killed by a snake on a plane. This makes Samuel L. Jackson's frustration at being on a plane with muthaf*@#in' snakes much more poignant, and sets up a revenge angle. He still manages to save the motley assortment of characters on the muthaf%$#in' plane: a rap star, a Paris Hilton type, a kid who needs a heart transplant, Hare Krishnas, two jive-talkin' guys, the Millionaire, and his wife.
**END NO SPOILERS THERE***

Tips on watching Snakes on a Plane: First, be sure to tell the cashier at the ticket window (at select AMC locations) "I want to see the muthaf%$#in' Snakes on the muthaf%$#in' Plane." You will receive a FREE strange look (as supplies last). Be sure to stay past the credits, Samuel L. Jackson has a clip at the end where he says "MOVIE'S OVER! GET YO ASSES OUT OF THE MUTHAF%$#IN' THEATRE! YES THOSE SNAKES DESERVED TO DIE! AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!"* Also be prepared for the surprise twist ending.**

Rating: 5 Snakes on a Plane

* Not true
** Not telling

I have information, on very good authority, that every male of teen years in the entire United States will be at the Friday night showings of this movie. That very good authority is my 16 year old son. And all his teen friends, in several states. And every child of every friend, relative and acquaintance of mine. In fact, everyone I have ever spoken to about this movie.

And if you want to make 12-year-olds laugh out loud so hard milk comes out their noses - EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT DRINKING MILK - just say in a very loud voice "SNAKES .... ON A PLANE!"

The mysteries of human development continually amaze me.

Hilarious. I can't wait not to rent this movie.

Oops. That was me.

Whatever demographic they were aiming for with that movie, they hit me right between the eyes. The title is Snakes on a Plane. It's about Snakes on a Plane. Samuel L. Jackson is on the plane, too. Is it a metaphor for something? No. It's about motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane. I don't normally go in for horror/thrillers, but I'm seeing this movie. Tonight, if possible.

Hey, you made snakes on a plane hip again.

And that prequel poster still m$&($&F*(&$%n cracks me up.

I'm a little bitter about this movie. I'm jazzed to see it, but snakes give my wife the heeby-jeebies so I can't convince her to go. By the way, this is the best movie review ever.
