Yet, of all people, Betty White, shedding her clean woman image while she still can, offers up a few lewd and crude zingers that will make parents want to shield their children’s ears. Plus, the predictable motley crew of hunters is gathered, along with a little romance. The stock, “Watch out!,” “Where is it?” and “Oh, no!” are all uttered. In fact, most discerning moviegoers will see the script and dialogue as downright silly.
It is very simple, with a clear villain and a very understandable script.

Too bad there was too much foul language and some brief but gruesome violent images, or this would be a perfect lazy Saturday matinee movie for the children. Near deaths occur, the helicopter crashes, Fonda shines up to the Game Warden without any sexual activity at all, and the ending suggests a certain sequel. Wildlife Federation arrives, or should they kill it? After they discover the old woman was feeding the croc whole cows, they use one of her cows as bait. The question then remains, should the group try to capture and anesthetize the croc before the U.S. Finally, when a big grizzly bear, (which I don’t believe are native to Maine) nearly attacks the group, the lake monster, a 30-foot crocodile appears and swallows the bear whole. Bickerman, played by Betty White, is introduced. More close calls ensue, a deputy’s head is bit clean off, and an eccentric woman named Mrs. After camp is set up, a kooky mythology professor named Hector Cyr (Oliver Platt), who believes that crocodiles are sacred, shows up to join the team. A paleontologist (of course), named Kelly Scott and played by Fonda, hears about a large reptilian tooth found on the body and is sent by her superior to check out this discovery. The Sheriff, Hank Keough (Brendan Gleeson), tells his buddy, Fish and Game Warden Jack Wells (Bill Pullman), about it. Starring Bill Pullman, our president in another monster movie INDEPENDENCE DAY, and the always hammy Oliver Platt, and the primarily B-level actress Bridget Fonda, questions arise on Lake Placid when a biologist diver gets himself bit in two by an unknown nasty critter living in the water. Kelly, who created TV’s politically correct programs ALLY MCBEAL and THE PRACTICE, wrote and produced LAKE PLACID, a lightweight, very silly monster movie about a 30-foot crocodile in a remote Maine lake. Undoubtedly with one brain lobe tied behind his back, David E. In recent years, they have shown up as a large snake in ANACONDA, as a mutant in THE RELIC or even in big budget movies like THE LOST WORLD and GODZILLA as irritable dinosaurs. They are: the movie monsters in the B-level movie. They have big scales or antenna, big appetites and bad attitudes.
