Movie Review: Strange Wilderness
With a trailer that shows a shark swimming and someone in the back ground making a weird groaning sound, one should know that Strange Wilderness is a ridiculous over the top comedy. With all the usual guys from Adam Sandler's flicks and the addition of Jonah Hill and Justin Long, this movie is a poor man's Apatow wannabe movie. None the less, it does provide for some laughing.
Steve Zahn plays Peter Gaulke, a son of a late great animal show star. Since the passing of his father Peter has taken over the show named, "Strange Wilderness." Ever since Peter has taken the helm the show has become a laughing stock and being aired at 3 a.m. in the morning. Because of this the broadcasting company is bringing in a real nature show that doesn't suck. Now the Strange Wilderness crew has two weeks to do something to keep the show alive.
A friend of Peter's tells him he has a map that will bring them to the cave of Big Foot. With this news Peter and the gang packs up a motor home and hits the road. A wacky pot head adventure ensues.
Along the way down to find and record Big Foot, which is down in Mexico somewhere, the group encounters a gang banger, cash problems and having their motor home stripped to nothing by Mexican authorities. As this adventure goes on theres a whole lot of adult humor flying, as well as curse words going off every other second. All of which makes this movie some what worth it.
Over all this movie is a waste of the price of a movie ticket. I honestly cant believe that someone in Hollywood would green light a movie like this. Someone actually sat down and wrote a scene about people puking into the mouth of a jumping shark. If your wondering, "What the heck?" I was also thinking that in the theater. This movie brings nothing, if anything, takes away. (Nine bucks.) Strange Wilderness will only appeal to the wonderful youth of today's world and no one else.
5/10
