Quotes
Sadie Bickerman:
There's Max. I named him after my late husband. 'Cause he was always hungry like Max was. Uh, then there's, um, George Jr. Named after the president, 'cause he was slow too. And the last one was big girl Martha. Martha Stewart. Pretty tough bird in her own right.
Emily:
How do you know she's female?
Sadie Bickerman:
She got a mean streak I ain't never seen in no man. Also... I caught George Jr. trying to stick it to her one night on the shore.

The first Lake Placid was the type of movie that you loved or hated. I loved it. The actors had chemistry. The script was clever. The key was to take it for what it was. A lot of people did and it developed a cult following.
I wanted to love II. But, it wasn't there. I think they tried. But chemistry and hitting the exact same note is hard. I think they put together a good cast. The writing was supposed to make you grin. It just didn't pull together tight enough. Nice Try. Lake Placid a tough film to duplicate on any level.
I think a lot of the fans of the first one went into it with the right frame of mind. If you didn't see the first one you may not understand the choices they went with as far as corny dialogue and silliness. Maybe they can bring back Ms. Fonda for 3!
