MCT:October 8, 2008This movie was amusing, but had some very big problems. One of which was a script that seemed a little half-assed. Despite really funny performances from all the actors (especially Steve Zahn, for whom I have a soft spot), the story really seems like it was written in an afternoon. Despite this there are genuinely funny moments. It's just too bad that they all take place in the first ten minutes of the film.

MCT:October 5, 2008This movie was hilarious. If you like Grandma's Boy or Superbad... you'll like this movie. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasently surprised.

MCT:September 17, 2008I really enjoyed this hilarious and inventive little gem of a flick about a struggling tv nature show and the zany lengths they go to as they face imminent cancellation. Recommended!

MCT:September 7, 2008I expected more out of this movie since it was a Happy Madison production. It really wasn't all that funny. The director needs to learn that there are jokes that don't involve dicks and crudeness that still make people laugh. The language and obscenities were so bad they distracted from the actual film. The spoofy animal clips with the voiceovers made me laugh but everything else just went overboard.

I liked the concept, but it kinda fell. While the basic idea of a comedy about people who study animals, was perfect to me, it failed to be really funny.

I love Steve Zahn and Justin Long, and there were parts of this movie that were hilarious...it just didn't do it for me though. It's almost as if I feel they were all TRYING too hard to be funny. Like you could see the punch-line coming because of their body language or something. And there's a scene toward the end (right before they get out of the wilderness) that I really didn't like at all. I don't want to give the end away, but you'll know what I mean if you see it. They could have ended that part soooo much better. It got a chuckle, but that was it. So 2.5 stars for a movie that had the potential to be a 4 star movie. Watch it if you're bored I guess.

Yeah another one of those stupid silly movies just to pass the time.If you liked Knocked up and Superbad this is up your alley.Had a few pretty good laughs other than that kind of a dud.=)
-
MCT:August 26, 2008this movie is all about crap. I could tell it's almost fun. You will regret if you rent this movie and you'll even more regret if you buy it. =P
-
MCT:August 23, 2008movies like this are the reason im tempted to stop watching tv...just so i dont have to see the commercials for them
-
MCT:August 19, 2008aawh man this film was such a DRAG, any sense of humour is outweighed by the emptyness of the plot, so unless you want excruciating boredom stay clear of THIS.

MCT:August 17, 2008
How does shit like this get made? Oh, thats right, because the cast knows Adam Sandler...Terrible movie!

The usual Happy Madison gang was here for this one. It also starred Steve Zahn, Justin Long, and Jonah Hill.
Although there were a couple of "chuckle" moments, I'd have to say that this movie wasn't good. I like comedy, even slapstick, but I thought this one would be more enjoyable. -
MCT:August 15, 2008
OK! I'm going to try and be kind to this film. These are the only reason it got any stars at all:
#1. Justin Long's best preformance somehow ended up in this movie
#2. Jonah Hill as a hillbilly, too awesome (seriously you will not belive that it's really Jonah)
#3. The vocie overs were the only consitently funny, my favs: "Monkies make up over 80% of the monky population" and (talking about a shark jumping on land to eat a seal) "It's a good thing there isn't an actual lion a shore or he wouldn't know what the f*** to do"
#4. The line "Ah shit it's a porcupine" when Justin Long sees a snake.
However funny this sounds it is ruined by stupid (not in a good way) pointless (not in a good way) imature (you geused it, not in a good way) jokes (for lack of a better word) a non-ending and closeups of disfigured dicks. My advise: downloud the good bits on you tube and skip the rest! -

I was really looking forward to this film, because of the superb cast but I fails on so many levels. First of all the cast, great selection but sloppy characters and dialogue. I bet the producers of the film saw, grandma's boy, superbad, waiting and super troopers and decided to throw these talented actors into a film together, which would have work but didn't. There's no direction of the film or story. But it did make me laugh several times, which is why it is a comedy. Shame on Hollywood for ruining a good film with wasted talent. Watch Grandma's Boy, Super Troopers or Waiting... instead.

Created by the same people (and including some of the same actors) as Grandma's Boy. I didn't think that movie was all that great either.
This one has it's moments, and Ashley Scott is smokin', but for the most part it was just dumb.
Steve Zahn just annoyed me, acting like a moron...it almost seemed like they let him ad-lib too much and then didn't have time to edit out all the stupid shit.
I would not watch this again. -
MCT:August 6, 2008
I liked this movie but that isn't saying it wasn't a disappointment. I thought with the cast and being a Happy Madison production that it would be a lot funnier then it was. It had some laughs throughout the film but not quite enough to make you want to watch it numerous times.
-
MCT:August 5, 2008
Now I remember why I didn't want to see this movie. I did enjoy the shark part, but that's about it. Steve Zahn, this is a new low, even for you!
-
MCT:August 3, 2008
It's a senseless movie in a very funny way. Just watch it and you'll know what I'm talking about (especially the scenes with shark)
-

How did so many decent comedic actors get caught up in such a terrible movie?
As with most Happy Madison comedies, Strange Wilderness subscribes to the lowest common denominator school of humour. It's almost required you be of "different mindset" (if you know what I mean) to enjoy it.
There's a couple of "this is so stupid, I can't help laughing" moments but generally this is a whole load of juvenile, offensive jokes that wastes Steve Zahn, Jonah Hill, and the other recognizable cast members.
Hard to believe but this might just be as bad as The Benchwarmers - and that's quite a feat. -
MCT:August 1, 2008
Maybe it was the booze...but holy crap I laughed a lot watching this movie...especially the nature scene voice overs...we must have watched the shark bit over and over again like 20 times and kept laughing and laughing...
-
MCT:July 30, 2008
Should have been a national lampoon's. I would have expected more from Adam Sandler. Not as funny as I would have expected.
-
MCT:July 27, 2008
Tasteless, absolutely void of comedy and overall just stupid, Strange Wilderness is a movie destined for bargain bins everywhere.

After the genial, beloved TV host of the popular wildlife show "Strange Wilderness" passes on to the great nature special in the sky, his son Peter Gaulke takes over the series--and things are never the same. Ignorant, bumbling and blissfully unaware of his own lack of talent, Pete sprinkles his documentary narrations with dubious factoids. When the ratings sink to an all-time low and the show is about to be cancelled, Pete and his filmmaking partner Fred Wolf realize they have to come up with "something big" to save the series. It looks like they've hit the jackpot when Pete lucks into a map of the legendary Bigfoot's secret cave. But when the clueless producer leads his ragtag crew to the wilds of Central America to film the elusive beast, they encounter a string of disasters. Desperate for a stunt to drive "Strange Wilderness" ratings back up and salvage the show, Pete brainstorms with his motley crew. Their luck seems to take a turn for the better when Pete gets a visit from his father's backwoods survivalist friend Bill Calhoun, who offers to sell him a map to Bigfoot's jungle hideout. Convinced this is the big break they've been waiting for, Pete and Fred hire two new crewmembers, Bill Whitaker and Cheryl, and set off for Ecuador in their dilapidated RV. From the start, however, the ambitious expedition is beset with disasters. Along the way, the hapless crew will have to survive near-death encounters with overzealous border guards, an amorous turkey, flesh-eating fish, murderous natives and a host of other obstacles that more than live up to the name
