''Congo'' is certainly trite, shallow, silly and cheesy; but intentionally so. If you don't think too hard about it, then it's a perfectly acceptable [[So Bad It's Good]] or [[So Okay It's Average]] fragment of entertainment; if you're browsing Blockbuster one night for a DVD for movie night with your friends and they don't have ''[[Anaconda]]'', this will do instead. |
