Anaconda (2025)

‘Anaconda’ Is Exactly What You Expect – And All The Better For It. Paul Rudd and Jack Black bring a ton of laughs to ‘Anaconda,’ a monster movie meta-comedy that still has a surprising bit of heart at its center. No one will ever mistake the original ‘Anaconda’ for a good movie, and even the 1997 film itself doesn’t pretend to be one.

With its random cast (Jennifer Lopez! Ice Cube! Jon Voight!), intentional silliness, and wacky premise, the movie leans into its own absurdity and ends up becoming one of those cult classics that fans adore for its ridiculousness (it was also a decent box office hit and spawned a raft of even worse sequels).
