Rated R for language, comedic violence, crude humor, sexualityStarring Steve Zahn, Allen Covert, Justin Long, Kevin Heffernan, Jonah Hill
Once upon a time, Peter's dad hosted a well-known nature show, known as Strange Wilderness, where he traveled the world and taught American about animals and nature much along the lines of what we would see on the Discovery Channel. When dear old dad passed, Peter was left with hosting duties on the show, however ratings began to decline and the show was slotted in the 3am place. With word that he and his crew have weeks to save the show before it is ultimately canceled by the tv station and replaced with a rival nature show, they set out on a journey to capture an animal on film that could turn things all around for them - Big Foot.
What I'm sure was a good idea for a film in theory - a ragtag crew who knows nothing about nature trying to save their beloved nature show - the end result feels more like a bunch of Adam Sandler's crew (afterall, this is a Happy Madison film made up of much of the production's regulars) just goofing around together on camera and calling it a movie. Some of the gags are pretty fun, but the rest of the movie is pretty much forgettable.
Feel free to skip out on this one!
