action

Animal lover Peter Gaulke would like to imitate his father and also become a famous documentary filmmaker. Unfortunately his own format Strange Wilderness is extremely unsuccessful due to the amateurish style. After the show had already been banned from the night program, the final end is now imminent. Gaulke and his team are trying desperately to prevent this. Your plan is to find the legendary Big Foot and bring it in front of the camera. Of course, pretty much everything goes wrong that can go wrong.

criticism

The deliberately trashy comedy received very bad reviews in general. On Rotten Tomatoes , only 2% of 46 counted reviews were positive, Metacritic calculated a score of 12 on the basis of twelve reviews, which makes Strange Wilderness one of the 100 worst-rated films.

Richard Propes of The Independent Critic wrote: “It's impossible to deny that 'Strange Wilderness' feels like a movie that could have been much funnier and much more entertaining than it really is. [...] So much funny talent, so few laughs. Strange Wilderness is strangely disappointing. ”(“ It's impossible to deny that “Strange Wilderness” feels like a film that could have been much funnier and much more entertaining than it really is. […] So much comic talent, so few laughs . "Strange Wilderness" is strangely disappointing. ")

“The parodic potential of this comedy, produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison, flashes only in the animal films. Otherwise, lame stoner and vomit jokes and pubescent abdominal humor predominate, which extends its dubious gags to the worst. Conclusion: Just really stupid and stupid. "

- Cinema

"Completely over-the-top stoner comedy with a few accurate swipes, which is primarily just a number revue of its main actor, who adds unnecessary nonsense to the intriguing plot."
