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.

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.

If you’re rebooting the Anaconda franchise, the approach taken here is about as close to objectively correct as it can be.

CGI’s better than ’97 at least. Other than that? Meh.

5/10

While Anaconda has its moments where it can really ratchet up the over-the-top humor and deliver on the entertaining experience you’re hoping for, it ultimately misses the mark.

Typical Jack Black comedy: some very funny parts, mostly cheesy humor, and some parts drag on. The movie s exactly what you expect.

Good enough I guess. It doesn’t do anything new. It’s a shame as it starts out with a meta idea that works. Then it falls into the typical cliched movie
