This movie was apparently made for F-A-N-S, and it may turn out to be a cult film lover's dream flick. The whole thing supposedly is done with tongue firmly planted in cheek, not because of the plot, which is an interesting premise even though it's absurd, but because of the over-the-top dialogue Samual L. Jackson has been given to the delight of his fans. Note: SLJ was brought back & additional cheeky dialogue, some of it supplied by fans over the internet, was shot in post production

If SOAP turns out to be a real "gobbler" (i.e., a turkey of mammoth proportions) critically, artistically & financially, I'll be among the first to concur with the wary armchair critics' cynical dismissal of the premise, title, website, etc., but to be fair, let's give the film a chance, okay? FYI, Snakes on a Plane was the talk of the campus at Texas A&M when I was guest of a convention held there back in April. If the producers of this film have somehow managed to connect with the college crowd and SOAP turns into a "must-see" event, then it could make for a great openning weekend; who knows, maybe "snakes" will even grow "legs" and do good BO for several weeks! :o)
