THIS IS NOT A REBOOT. It is an entirely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic 'classic' "Anaconda", that features Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since they were kids and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation.

Critics Consensus

The premise might be ripe for a raucous action-comedy, but this meta reboot of Anaconda can't detach its jaws wide enough to swallow so many conflicting tones.

Audience Says

Anaconda is a worthwhile expedition thanks to the buoyant charisma of Black, Rudd, and Zahn, who make this a meta comedy as delightfully ridiculous as it is tongue-in-snake.

4d

2/5

Boasting more star power than all the Anacondas put together, but noticeably fewer laughs, what could have been a fresh take on familiar material ends up a regurgitated mess.

Rudd and Black are fun enough on screen, but "Anaconda" is so loosey goosey in its plotting and mechanics that it's difficult to invest too much into it.

2/5

This new version of one of Hollywood’s most popular creature features is so desperate to pitch in the laughs along with the scares that it renders everything dull and diluted.

The four friends tumble through a parade of outlandish setbacks, including a literal giant anaconda, yet the film takes too long to find its rhythm and often fails to stick the landing with some of its bigger laugh moments.

7/10

While it remains an example of Hollywood recycling nostalgia rather than forging new stories, Anaconda proves that, in the right filmmaker's hands, it's possible to strike a satisfying compromise.

Anaconda could have been included in that conversation, but instead it’s too much like a big studio poking fun at itself while doing the exact thing it attempts to make light of.

The movie is ok. I did enjoy it. The cgi of the snake is beautiful. The storyline is ok but different. I don’t have any complaints about this movie. I definitely want to watch it again though.
