Synopsis

Millionaire Ray Milland kills any animal that moves on his island estate. The slaughter continues even when his family visits the island. Sam Elliott challenges Milland to mend his ways -- but to no avail. That means the swamp critters will have to decide things on their own. For Kermit & Co., it's payback time. You'll laugh till you croak!

Personal Thoughts

So finally, we get to an older movie I'd never seen before (unless you're counting The Curve). Frogs, starring Sam Elliott is a film about what could happen if you tick nature off. Though the movie's titled frogs, the frogs (in light of some of the other animals in the film) seem to be the least of everyone's concerns.

Overall, I thought frogs was an okay movie, that ended up dragging along here and there throughout the film. It did however still manage to keep me interested, primarily due to its cast ... Judy Pace and Joan Van Ark were pleasing to the eyes, (though Joan Van Ark looks totally different now, nearly 40 years later).

IMDB says; The Daily Variety, many black and white publications, and critics called Judy Pace, one of the most beautiful woman to ever appear on screen. In the 1970s, she was the personification of Black beauty but just calling her a black beauty is a slap in the face because she's a beauty period.
