There is such a thing as making something really good by being so good at making it bad.
there's a reason why B-Movies have a larger following than mainstream as well.
GR/ While i'll agree that the libertarian view of contemporary American society is mostly central in the scope of the film you're views on the symbolic nature of the snakes is mislead in my opinion. Snakes on a Plane is clearly asking us to threaten our own moral judgement and perspectives in that the snakes represent our own inner-homosexuality that is repressed even by the libertarian views that gave birth to it's acceptance. A sharper view might be to say that Samuel L. Jackson is being attacked by his own penis, his sexual core, and that in order to ultimately resolve the conflict (removing them from the plane) he must symbolically accept them even though he fears them, as they are actually a part of him (his penis).
