Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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

weezeralfalfa The last of the 3 episodes of the Robinson Wilderness family. There's Dad or Skip, Mom or Pat, Jenny,the teenage girl, pre-teen Toby, and the Labrador Crust(an odd name). Also, there's the mountain man Boomer and his mule, as an occasional visitor. Episode 2 ended with the beginning of spring, after a long winter. This episode takes place in late spring and summer, rather similar to the first episode.A National Forest ranger arrives in a helicopter and tells them they are on property filed as a mining claim. They need to show the right papers and evidence of valuable minerals, or leave within 90 days. The ranger returns near the end of the film to sort things out. I won't reveal this episode, as the film ends with it. As in the previous episodes, we have disasters or fights interspersed between joyous times: a good format. Among the disasters: A rain brings a flash flood that washes away the chicken house and shed, not to mention the vegie garden. This is the last straw for Pat, who leaves to visit her sick mother. It's unclear if she will ever return. Then, little Toby climbs a very steep cliff to find the nest of a raven that stole his pencil. He finds some other missing items in the nest, as well. But he is afraid to climb down. Skip to the rescue. We have several encounters with wolves, cougars and bad bears as well as good bears, as we had in the previous episodes.The family tries panning for gold, but comes up empty. Boomer checks out an old mine shaft, gets into trouble, but finds something of possible importance. I will stop here.Skip appears to have great previous experience with wilderness animals and living. He always brushes off any injuries or traumas as nothing to worry about, surviving various falls and fights with minimal apparent injury. In contrast, Pat often feels stressed out by such events, and sometimes cries.I don't know what animals their 2' high stick fence around the garden is supposed to keep out. Deer seem like the most numerous herbivore around. I doubt it would discourage a determined rabbit or marmot.Some reviewers describe the mountain man Boomer as a creep. I didn't get that impression at all. He seems like a knowledgeable grandfather.Some reviewers complain that these episodes lack a significant plot, although this one has a bit more than the others. Well, there's enough interesting things happening so that a complicated plot isn't necessary. It seems like an adventurous vacation. The same is true of some raucous comedies and some musicals.

utgard14 The third and final Wilderness Family movie is mostly more of the same as the last two, except this time they try to add a bit more to the plot. Here we have the family threatened with eviction by The Man, who can't stand to see our favorite hippies being successful in their dream of living off the land and eventually mating with bears and raccoons. Also the mother of our long-haired clan, who was at times borderline hysterical in the last two movies, is tempted with leaving the mountain life behind and returning to the city. But ultimately it's the same as the other movies -- nature footage and corny songs are the best parts. The characters are not particularly bright or relatable but they aren't easy to dislike, even George "Buck" Flower as the creepy mountain man who keeps eyeing the blonde teenage daughter ("Help me out here, I've got somethin' stuck in my pocket."). If you liked the first two movies, you'll probably like this one. If you haven't seen the first two, I would suggest seeing them in order but it's not absolutely necessary.

suesuth56 The family portrayed in this movie (and the two previous installments - yes, unbelievably, we watched all three) are a little smarter by the third movie, but overall should not be allowed to live in the wilderness - they are too stupid. True, this is wholesome and the small kids in our family enjoyed it, but it was truly annoying to watch the continuing stream of foolishness. I don't think the father ever shot a single wolf, even though his family was attacked on more than one occasion, but he was real good at shouting, "Get out of here!" and shooting into the air. These folks are lucky they have a dog - that dog has gotten them out of more scrapes, and put his life on the line innumerable times for his "family". I don't know what they would have done if the dog got killed. Oh, I forgot, there was always Samson the bear to save the day, if the dog wasn't around. Every time there was some kind of crisis (and there were plenty of those) the mother would end up crying and saying, "I can't take it anymore."You should understand, I am totally into family friendly movies, but this one was too much even for me, and it takes a lot to put me over that edge.

richard_wright Having not seen the two previous entries in the series I can't comment on how similar this film is to the rest of them, but what I can say is as someone who normally avoids sentimental family films like this it came as a very pleasant surprise. There were plenty of animal fights between the assorted bears/dogs/cats when the pace looked like dropping, and some moments in the film that were sweet without being corny. The acting was generally good too with the actor portraying Boomer (forget his name) being the highlight providing some welcome moments of comic relief.. love that accent too!! True, the music was universally poor (Did they have to play that damn chirpy title track 3 times? We get it.. they're happy!!) And there were some pretty unbelievable parts (Like when the father falls about 10 metres from a tree while being attacked by a bear and survives without a scratch?!) But ultimately this is a pretty decent movie for your whole clan to enjoy.. in fact its almost enough to make me want to give all my worldly possessions away to charity and go and live the simple life in the wilderness. Almost, but not quite.
