Very uplifting, and randomly hilarious film. It's definitely not an A+ as far as the plot goes, (not uncommon in the comedy genre), however, the funny one liners, outstanding acting from Justin long (the guy who stared in accepted) who in... Full review

"Strange Wilderness" has a very simplistic script, searching for "bigfoot" to save an "amazing animals" type television show from being canceled. There are some seriously funny bits strung together by a flimsy premise, but who cares, if it's funny, the ridiculous... Full review

When you see a really horrible and worthless movie you're hesitant to ever watch it again;....If not, just pass by Strange Wilderness and never think twice.....While the aforementioned people should be embarrassed, Jeff Garlin, Ernest Borgnine and Robert Patrick should be ashamed for their participation.....But the script failed first....It's an assortment of incoherent moments where we don't really learn anything about the movie, we're not entertained.... ...

The film is colorful but low-key....Strange Wilderness' is a particularly lackluster example that seems almost completely derived from a random string of ineffective improv.....But just when the film builds up some goodwill....the son of the late legendary host of 'Strange Wilderness', a popular wildlife show that seemed to exude a certain charm and class.....Sandler just finances these film's out of a loyalty to friends that would be akin to taking a bullet -.... ...

To be fair, the movie has one bright spot:....And how much it wouldn't have bothered me not to know.....I guess they were pretty confident about the film to put their own names in it.....Now comes the only interesting thing about the movie:....There are also Ernest Borgnine as their cameraman, the actor smart enough to appear only in the first few minutes and at the very end;.... ...

Before you leap from your computer to snatch up a copy of this DVD, do realize that Strange Wilderness is such a woefully awful movie that it doesn't take much to improve it.
In some cases, the movie works better on DVD.
