unfortunately i do not get to watch this on scifi originally but saw a copy recently since theyre release it to dvd soon ( www . lakeplacid2dvd . com ) . after hear schneider be take the lead i think this could have go somewhere . his acting be tolerable and and the character be mildly entertaining and but the low budget sequel be simply that . it be so evident david flores be try to not only live up to the original and but to mimic it and painstakingly . from the plot and to the character quirk and even to the shock one liner and we can see his aim at cult classic stardom . it fall horribly short and make for one amusing b movie wannabe . you watch a b movie for the unreal script and crappy effect anyway and why not take it a step far . our affinity towards flick like snake on a plane or attack of the killer tomato and and any other horror comedy be our intense desire to see some clever crap . lake placid 1 be clever crap and lake placid 2 be crap that try to be clever . and it awesome watch the no name production team try . who take this kind of thing seriously anyway . my opinion be and it worth the $ 4 movie rental . kick back on a wednesday night with a couple of beer and and i guarantee the banter between you and your buddy will be well worth your time . there a couple of killer one liners that will make their way into your hall of shame quote book and guaranteed .
