Profile of Strange Wilderness

Strange Wilderness can be described as humorous and feel good. The plot revolves around stoners, an obsessive quest, and a situation where nothing goes right. Its comic aspect comes from grossout humor and silly humor. Strange Wilderness's main genres are comedy and adventure. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in the wilderness. Strange Wilderness is located in Ecuador, South America, and the USA. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens. Note that Strange Wilderness involves nudity, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of Strange Wilderness

From the production team that brought you HAPPY GILMORE and BILLY MADISON comes this amiable, foul-mouthed "nature" comedy. Steve Zahn--sporting his best burned-out surfer dude drawl--leads a ragtag crew of wasted nature documentarians deep into the Ecuadorian forest on a quest for the legendary Bigfoot. Constantly being rousted for their drunken ineptitude and ill-informed voiceover narrations, the boys need a break to boost their ratings and Bigfoot might be it; all they have to do is remember to load the camera and not get eaten (especially by a certain turkey). Allen Covert, SUPERBAD's Jonah Hill, Justin Long, and Kevin Heffernan are the crew. Harry Hamlin is a rival bigfoot tracker. Ashley Scott (INTO THE BLUE) provides the ubiquitous foxy babe interest. Ernest Borgnine, Robert Patrick, and Joe Don Baker show up in bit parts. A sort of low-rent LIFE AQUATIC, WILDERNESS is such a fall-down farce that viewers might forget they're not cracking jokes while watching ANIMAL PLANET with their cronies instead of seeing a real movie, but maybe that's a good thing. Former SNL scribe Fred Wolf (JOE DIRT) directs, keeping it as ramshackle and rough around the edges as the law will allow. STRANGE WILDERNESS may not be pretty, but it earns a load of laughs through its sheer mullet-headed recklessness.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Obviously the product of minimal effort by all parties involved, Strange Wilderness is a slovenly, slapped-together stoner comedy.
The Hollywood Reporter
The result is a slacker comedy that goes slacker by the second, trying hard to be rude and crude but suggesting an old John Candy-Dan Aykroyd movie with bongs and more swearing.

Users Reviews

Strange Wilderness (2008) is a crazy hilarious dirty dark raunchy movie. This is the type of movie you watch with a group of friends with a few to many beers late at night, not with your wife (like I did last night). No great acting here, scenes...
"Wilderness" is this decade's Biodome. The characters are meant to be funny, but their attempted humor is always cruel. Yes, cruel humor can be funny, but without the humor part of the equation, it's just mean spirited. The rest of the attempted...
