Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Amanda is burning her files at the end, a clear shot of one page is seen. Not actually secret snake formulas, it is in fact a collection of chemical reactions one might see on an exam for first semester organic chemistry (elimination, bromination, ozonolysis, hydroboration, etc.).

Giant Snakes and The Hoff...

Harmless fun. A couple of giant, generically altered snakes break out and terrorize people. The snakes are not-great CGI, but they commit a lot of mayhem, probably more graphically than you'd expect. David Hasslehoff (yup, you read that right) leads the group that is chasing them. Best part of the flick, by far, is Crystal Allen, who plays a PhD and a snake expert, and she's my favorite type of snake expert PhD, the type that is a smoking hot blonde and spends almost the entire movie in a tight, form-fitting tank top. Crystal also works hard to sell her character, and she's fun to watch.

Debuted on Sci-Fi channel in advance of the DVD release, you could do a lot worse.
