Frogs, or as it should be called: Frogs, Snakes, and Other Un-frightening Creatures, is about a very white, very wealthy family and their slaves… I mean, servants, who have their family birthday get-together spoiled by croaking warty toads. Strong with seventies magic, but full of easily avoidable deaths that give the film a comedic air. Sure, most people have open jars of poison laying around, neatly labeled on the shelf in their green house, but do the lizards really have a reason behind carelessly knocking them over? I have totally been running in the forest, scared of a few snakes, when I somehow got caught in trees and fell, only then to have frogs do my makeup. It wasn’t overly hilarious, and it definitely wasn’t scary (little chubby hops don’t usually evoke the fear within). It was easy to sit through, but it might be the type of movie best enjoyed while doing something else, such as playing video games. Frogger, anyone?
