Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

RELEASED TO TV IN 2015 and directed by Mike Mendez, "Lavalantula" chronicles events in Los Angeles when volcanic activity releases fire-breathing arachnids the size of people. Steve Guttenberg plays a B-movie actor who rises to the challenge of annihilating the creatures. Nia Peebles plays his wife, Noah Hunt his son and Michael Winslow his pardner. There are a lot of familiar faces.This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek non-horror flick with great Los Angeles locations and the expected cartoony CGI, but it never becomes more than that. Peebles looks great, but the movie never really takes advantage of her presence. The Hollywood strip sequence is arguably the best part. The movie is entertaining to a point, but at the end of the day it's a forgettable throwaway flick.THE FILM RUNS 83 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles and Hollywood. WRITERS: Neil Elman, Mendez & Ashley O'Neil.GRADE: C/C- (4.5/10)

I watched this movie, and at first thought...OK Steve Gutenberg has made a movie..then I watched Lavalantula 2....then went back and started from the beginning.....total fun. The references to the Police Academy and Jurassic Park and various other movies was great. Big budget it is not, top notch effects it has not...but good clean fun...plenty of. Story line is as you might imagine a total flop...the acting was not taken seriously...the actors knew this was a TV movie and had fun with it. The plot center's around earthquakes, lava, and of course monsters...here they are lava breathing spiders. Special effects were..well cheesy and if you don't smile or chuckle with this movie...then you are not a movie fan. I gave it a high rating because it entertained the hell out of me. That's the whole point though right?

Lavalantula with Steve Guttenberg. I was fearing the worst with this SyFy channel film and surprisingly ended up enjoying it.A cheesy B film with decent enough special effects as Guttenberg plays a down on his luck actor who finds that there are a series of tremors in LA and then a volcanic eruption that spews up giant fire breathing spiders. Guttenberg needs to get to warn his wife and teenage son. Along the way he commandeers a Hollywood tour bus, gets help from a one armed former stunt man and gets exposition from a scientist in the museum at the La Brea Tarpits.In the meantime Guttenberg is joined by his former co stars from the Police Academy films, there are in jokes such as the Blue Oyster bar being destroyed and a rip roaring speech by Guttenberg which owes a little to Independence Day.Fun, action packed, cheap, cheesy and even a little scary. A real improvement from the usual SyFy output.

So you know when somethings so bad it actually starts being great fun. Well Lavalatua is that flick. A B movie that pretends to be nothing more. The great Steve Guttenburg and cast of police academy sending themselves up perfectly against an army of lava filled cgi tarantulas that are scary and funny in equal measure.So get the popcorn out and enjoy this daft but enjoyable little gem - not everything has to be Shakespeare.i hope we'll see more of Steve Guttenburg i always wondered about what happened to him after police academyChristian hope you like it
