None of the original cast are involved in the film. However, since I was strong-armed into writing a review, here is my list of pros and cons for the making of the film. Trying to decide whether or not a sequel is necessary for Lake Placid is easy: there is absolutely no need. Hollywood has definitely been lacking a good killer crocodile movie. However, about nine years after the original, it’s time to make a sequel. It’s a movie about a giant crocodile terrorizing a lake, and eating people or blindfolded cows being fed to it by Betty White – you're not exactly exercising the brain with that type of material. I am not saying Lake Placid is a classic movie. Lake Placid 2 is the horrendously dull sequel, of sorts, to the 1999 flick Lake Placid, only without the spectacular special effects, plot, all-star cast, humor, and a number of other ingredients that made the original watchable.

To think, I could have told you this long, really funny crocodile joke about a man carrying a crocodile into a bar and sticking his genitals into its mouth. The fact that the joke is that bad is appropriate, however, considering that the movie I am about to tell you about is just as crappy. I know, I know, that joke really isn’t funny. Stop me if you’ve heard it: How many arms does a crocodile have? You give up? It depends how far he has got with eating his dinner. I’m going to start this review with a little joke.
