Reviews Counted:41

Fresh:0

Rotten:41

Average Rating:2.3/10

Consensus: Strange Wilderness is a laugh-free comedy that's both aimless and overly crass.

Rated: 15 [See Full Rating] for non-stop language, drug use, crude and sexual humor.

Runtime: 3 hrs 7 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:11-04-2008

Synopsis: Steve Zahn 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... Steve Zahn 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. [More]

Strange Wilderness is so wretched that it makes The Benchwarmers look like Bull Durham, Grandma's Boy look like The Graduate, and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo look like Midnight Cowboy.
