“It’s the movie they’re dying to remake”

Copyrighted, Columbia Pictures, a division of Sony Pictures

Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Four childhood friends are going through a midlife crisis so they decide to remake their favorite horror movie from the 1990s in the Amazon. When a real giant anaconda shows up, they get more than what they bargain for and their comically chaotic movie making turns into a life-or-death situation. The movie that they're dying to remake? It might just kill them, literally.”

Positive—Be warned… this movie is FULL of language, and it is NOT for kids. BUT! With that aside, this is absolutely the most hilarious movie you’ll see all year! I attended this movie with my parents (in their 70s) and my kids (a teen and twenty). All of us were rolling with laughter from start to finish. The movie has no boring transitions or good bathroom breaks, and we were all shocked when it ended, because it felt like we were only watching for about 30 minutes. It was great!
