Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Screen_Blitz Happy Madison Productions, the production company by Adam Sandler, is not well known for making the freshest comedies out there. But even by their low standards, it is genuinely astonishing to see them drag so low with an abysmal comedy like this. Instead of bringing us another mediocre Adam Sandler flick, Happy Madison squanders an often likable cast of Steve Zahn, Allen Covert, Jonah Hill, and Justin Long on this horrendous excuse of a comedy that scrapes so far below the barrel and where laughs are as scarce as finding water in a dry desert. And the biggest mystery that lies here is not far can you make it through this film without turning it off, but how such amazing comedic actors are so willing to participate in such an atrocity like this. This film follows Peter (played by Steve Zahn), a host of a nature reality TV show known as "Strange Wilderness", a show created by his late father who made himself a star with the show. But after his death, the incompetent Peter takes the over show which results in severely low ratings and threatens put the show on cancellation if it its met with improvement. However, when Peter and his colleague Milas (played by Ernest Borgine) find evidence of Bigfoot lurking in the wild, Peter and his crew including pot-smoking Junior (played by Justin Long), Lynn (played by Jonah Hill), Fred (played by Allen Covert), hot blondie Cheryl (played by Ashley Scott), and the newly hired Whitaker (played by Kevin Hefferman) set out the wilderness in attempt to capture bigfoot on broadcast and save their show.The film sees its cast squandering as the lowest common denominator to the point where you are left questioning if this film is even a straight forward comedy or a contest to see how long you can sustain their obnoxious behavior and their endless strain of scatological humor even an intoxicated person would find a hard time laughing at before turning this off (though it feels awfully like the latter). While sitting through this, I couldn't help but wonder if these jokes were either written by a middle schooler or director Fred Wolff was just running empty of ideas remotely funny. This film seems to show no interest in delivering any good laughs but instead pushing boundaries to see how far the cast can get away with absurd gross-out humor and dialogue that's just plain idiotic. One gag including a highlight scene with Steve Zahn having his penis unintentionally lodged down a turkey's throat. Seriously, is this really supposed be funny? Because in all honesty, its not nor are any of the other ridiculous jokes the film throws at us, and the sad part is that scene is not the only absurd penis gag that gets thrown at us. The second of which involves a campfire scene with Robert Patrick that is equally unfunny and by some degree, flat out disgusting. It appears that the writer and director's logic for this film is "the grosser it is, the funnier it is". From there on, the story continues on the characters' trek to find the mythical creature; but with all the abysmal jokes and overall lazy writing we are forced to endure, it gets to the point where you just don't care and are just waiting for the end credits the roll. The characters are too annoying and inept to even be deemed likable, and the performances the cast delivers certainly mark an all-time low for each and every one of them.Strange Wilderness is horrifying unfunny and bland comedy that is definitely not worth your time, and certainly shouldn't have been worth the time of any cast and crew members involved. While Hollywood is no stranger is opening the doors of abysmal comedies like this, it is genuinely to sad see such a good actors like these fall so deep below barrel with atrocities like this.

garyvanhorn Just so everyone knows, I only managed to suffer through about 17 minutes of the movie before I became so insanely irritated by the sheer stupidity of it that I turned it off in an act of sanity-preserving selfishness. I try to make it all the way through movies, "I watch bad movies so you don't have to". It's a good motto to live by if you want to get people to listen to you when talking about movies, especially the bad ones. Alas, in this case, I simply couldn't take any more pot/bong jokes. I had just watched Grandma's Boy (which also sucked by the way but not nearly as badly) and the eighth bong joke just made me snap (that's one every two minutes for those of you keeping score at home).Surely someone could have come up with some better material for a Naturalist that is completely inept than turning him and his whole crew into a bunch of potheads. I didn't have high hopes for the film, which is good, otherwise I might have had to check myself into the local loony bin after expectantly watching the whole film and being turned into a drooling idiot who constantly muttered ,"It has to get better, it just has to.....". Avoid watching this film, in whole or in part, I will not be held responsible for the adverse effects on your mental health should you choose to disregard my advice.

Floated2 Strange wilderness is one of the worst movies I have witnessed to watch. The acting is awful, the direction is way off and the jokes went flat and were completely unfunny. Seeing the comedic talent from the cast, I was expecting something funny, along the lines of Superbad (though not as funny or good), accepted and somewhat grandma's boy. But this was by far worst then all of those films. The plot in this film is ridiculous. It's basically about a guy- Peter (Steve Zahn) trying to keep his father's dream of a televised animal program afloat, which has plummeted in the ratings. Peter come across a map to the home of Bigfoot. Seizing this opportunity, Peter and his crew (Allen Covert, Ashley Scott, Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Kevin Heffernan, Peter Dante) race to the wilds of South America to find Bigfoot, filming their substantial misadventures along the way. I didn't laugh at really anything, maybe a few of the voice overs from the video show (the shark one at the end was actually kinda funny), but apart from that everything else was just annoying, gross, disturbing and awful.

Grissom66 Animal enthusiast Peter Gaulke (Steve Zahn) and his sidekick Fred Wolf (Allen Covert) host the ailing wildlife TV show "Strange Wilderness," which is in a steep ratings decline. Desperate to save the show, Peter hatches a Hail Mary scheme to find the one animal that could truly turn the show around and change the nature show landscape forever -- Bigfoot. The movie overall was kind of sloppy at times but people like Robert Patrick, Ernest Borgnine and Steve Zahn make this low budget of a movie barable to watch. My opinion is it's a great movie to watch when nothing much is going on that day but also a movie with a chock full of flaws. Strange Wilderness 6/10
