Tropic thunder of snake movies
Until this movie I never saw Paul Rudd and Jack Black in a movie together. But the chemistry is real , the laid back type of characters of Paul Rudd and the extrovert overly excited characters of Jack Black make for a proper Balance. The comedic timing is also great, and the movie doesn't rely too much on getting the audience to laugh. The story is of a decent level and the PG-13 rating is a great choice. But we gotta talk about the elephant in the room. This a movie about guys making a movie wich goes wrong, in many ways. We have seen it before in the movie Tropic Thunder. That movie also had Jack Black in the cast. In tropic Thunder It's a group of professionals who walk in to the wrong forest. And take a long while too realise that what is happening isn't part of the movie anymore. The plot of the new Anaconda is basically the same premise. But with semi-professionals , A giant Snake and a dream. This movie shows we can still make people laugh and tell a good story in the process. So if it was a pure comedy movie I would have given it a 10 out of 10. But that's not the case it's a comedy adventure movie and the balance is great. But it isn't very refreshing.
7.5/10Back to black fails to make us care.
This movie does not care about the artist
