The commercial cracked me up, but I don't think the premise can sustain a whole movie. There seems to me to be a somewhat racist note in a movie about a black man and a planeload of snakes, however, since there's an old stereotype about black people being hysterically scared of snakes.

Are Muslims afraid of snakes?

I have never heard of that. I have a feeling that SLJ takes care of business.

For some reason rural Southerners (black or white), especially of previous generations, are traditionally terrified of even the most harmless snake. Would you believe I grew up in a world where I was taught that spread natters are poisonous? I mean, who in their right mind would be afraid of a cute li'l ole SPREAD NATTER?

L. Jack isn't afraid of anything in this MF'ing movie.

I took my son to see it this afternoon and we both loved it. If you don't like snakes, this movie will make you very, very uncomfortable.
