the first lake placid be the type of movie that you love or hat . i love it . the actor have chemistry . the script be clever . the key be to take it for what it be . a lot of people do and it develop a cult follow . i want to love ii . but and it wasn not there . i think they try . but chemistry and hit the exact same note be hard . i think they put together a good cast . the writing be suppose to make you grin . it just do not pull together tight enough . nice try . lake placid a tough film to duplicate on any level . i think a lot of the fan of the first one go into it with the right frame of mind . if you do not see the first one you may not understand the choice they go with as far a corny dialogue and silliness . maybe they can bring back ms. fonda for 3 .
