Weep not, my friend. This is the first and only mention of this phrase used in this context. I doubt it will ever catch on in the real world, as “Snakes on a Plane” = “whatchagonnado?” has.

I still don’t get why people act like this movie was a disappointment. I honestly could not imagine a better movie about snakes on a plane. And I can remember few more purely entertaining movies. What more could you possibly want?

Of course it’s not The Godfather or anything… by that standard, yes, it’s a mediocre film. But come on, it tries to do something really specific and it succeeds with flying colors. Give it some credit.

I think they are referring to the fact that everyone thought with all that hype that it would be a box office success.
