Snakes on a Plane may be the greatest movie ever. Of course, only if you don't have objections to:

- snakes
- snakes killing lots of people
- lots of people killing snakes
- a dog named after an Olsen twin getting fed to snakes
- snake-o-vision
- snake-based crack!fic fodder for the rest of your life
- a terrible music video by a band called Cobra Starship
- a production team that knows nothing about snakes, airplanes, physics or human nature
- a lame and unnecessary backstory not involving snakes
- hillariously odd and blatant product placements (also not snake related)
- foaming eyeballs (snake-induced)

I had a problem with the eyeballs.

But I haven't laughed that hard in years.

Is it meant to be comedy?

Oh yes. Perhaps not as much as we took it to be, but oh yes.

Yes, you should. It's a profoundly cathartic and healing experience. Run, don't walk.

I'm surprised at myself for not having gone yet.

Hey, you didn't think that the makers of Snake-B-Gone® could pass up an opportunity like this, did you?

Do you know what this makes me think of?
The guy on the horrible harry potter reviews page who disliked the book because of its treatment of snakes. All I can think is "dear lord, what did that boy think of this MOVIE?!?!!?!"

I had that thought too. The snakes have more charm than most, if not all, of the human characters, and oddly, their deaths are much less grizzly than the human ones. You do kinda have to cheer for the snakes in places, and would, if you weren't sitting there being utterly flabbergasted by the existence of the whole thing in the first place.

ahh, good to know.

Also, on a vaguely related note, I think you might enjoy _Little Miss Sunshine_ oh, a whole lot.
