Camp on a Plane

Though many action and horror movies are unbelievably campy despite attempts to be taken seriously, Snakes on a Plane may be the first major motion picture that aims to be as campy as possible. Lurid and over-the-top moments dominate the film, from the generic-yet-evil Hawaiian mobsters to the tongue-in-cheek ending. Leading up to the release of the film, a lot of press mentioned this fact and started something of an anticipation frenzy among the movie-going masses. In the end, many felt disappointed by what they saw as a failed attempt at camp, resulting in a movie that is terrible in the conventional, non-ironic way.
