I thought it was hilarious.
I haven't seen it.
I want to see it though. Was it hilarious because of its shoddy production, crappy lines and generally poor premise? Or because it was actually a comedy?

Yes.

Maybe.

I only saw it because Trevor Rabin composed the sound track for it.   Even that did not seem like he put alot into it.  It was just maybe not worth it budget wise for him to spend alot of time on it.

It was very unrealistic and actually so stupid it was humourous.  Most snakes just want to find some quiet place to hide not come out into an airplane full of screaming people.  It just seemed strange that a snake would want to bite a man's crouch.  Snakes aim for the eyes, don't they?

Bcause of the crappy lines and stuff like that. The movie was meant to be stupid. At least they remembered that snakes don't actually attack humans, so they threw in pheromones to make them go crazy.

I did find the random weird ways the snakes attacked funny. I liked the part when a guy was bitten on the willy by a snake. xD

Just because a movie is a comedy doesn't necessarily mean its funny in one's sole opinion. I didn't think that Napoleon Dynamite was that funny, but it's still intended to make peopel laugh, so it's a comedy.

I think a panicking snake would aim for whatever bit they can reach. Is it better or worse than "anaconda"?

Or "Attack Of The Killer Condoms"?

xD!!

Awesome!

Was this movie meant seriously or just as a spoof? I read some story a while back where this black mamba escaped from a man's suitcase and bit several people in New City, killing a number of them.

The snake holed up in a cave in Central Park and there was much debate as to how to deal with it - kill it or catch and relocate to a zoo. There was a bunch of vigilantes who decided to kill the snake and they eventually managed to track her down and shoot her.

The story ended with a whole lot of tiny mambas moving out of the cave into Central Park. What they didn't realise was she had a nest in the cave and gave birth to babies during the weeks she was there.

Mambas are reputed to be one of the more aggressive species of snake so this aspect was a central part of the story. I just wish I could remember what it was called - darned short term memory loss. Sad
I thought it was lame.
This movie wasn't funny at all, and it was far too violent. A complete waste of my time.
As someone who is extremely phobic of snakes....I thought the movie was hilarious. The behavior of the reptiles was SO un-snakelike that it was ridiculous. Rolleyes
Of course, you know that Samuel L "Mace" Jackson will kill you all ;p

Laurence Fishburne is another great tough guy.  I once (partially) predicted the end of a movie based upon the fact that he was in it.  Things looked bleak for his character, but I thought, "Laurence Fishburne does not go out quietly; if he dies in this movie, he's going to take somebody with him!"  And I was right. Cool

Something tells me that Samuel L Jackson is professional enough not to take people's responses to "Snakes on a Plane" too seriously.

I've heard of Attack of the Killer Condoms. How about Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?
