Lake Placid (1999) *

Directed by Steve Miner. With Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda and Betty White. A giant crocodile takes over a small lake in Maine, devouring everything in sight. A colorful menagerie of weirdos tries to hunt him down. Plenty of amusing one-liners, a couple of dismembered bodies, and some nice scenery. Golden Girl Betty White steals the movie as a psychotic grandma.
