You getting snobby about Cocaine Bear?

Some movies are good because they are completely aware of how ridiculous they are.

Self awareness can be fun, that doesn't make it a good movie.

I laughed so hard at Betty White, swearing like a sailor, feeding people to a giant New England crocodile in Lake Placid, but I'd never dream of calling it a good movie.

Wanted has Morgan Freeman delivering the classic line "Will somebody, please, shoot this motherfucker?" Again, does not make it a good movie.

Good thing I did not say that being self aware automatically made a movie good.

Lake Placid is an excellent horror comedy beyond Betty's character. You just have bad taste and try to pass it off as objective criticism.
