A new film, positioned as a spiritual sequel or reboot of the 1997 'Anaconda,' follows childhood friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) as they attempt to remake the original movie in the Amazon. Joined by old friends, their production is complicated by illegal mining operations, local dangers, and an actual giant anaconda. Critics find the film's blend of comedy and horror falls short, with some noting a weak premise, unconvincing effects, and uneven pacing, despite the presence of well-known actors.
