Review of: Strange Wilderness

Talk about an absolutely terrible movie. Strange Wilderness had every element in its favor to succeed. It was a Happy Madison production, which if nothing else guarantees some laughs. It had an amazing supporting cast consisting of all of Adam Sandlers cronies, plus Jonah Hill, plus Justin long. The latter two absolutely stole the show. I pretty much only rented this one cause hill and long were in it. Well, I'm also a huge Grandma's Boy fan and Alex from that movie was the main supporting actor here. So as you can see, this movie could have been a classic.

The problem though stems from their choice for lead actor, Steve Zahn. While I don't actually dislike Zahn, (he was awesome in Saving Silverman) he just couldn't hold his own against all the comedy heavyweights in this one. It just seemed like he was trying way too hard to keep up and it was just way over the top. Absolutely none of his comedy was believable and for this movie to succeed you had to actually think these other actual funny guys would be friends with Zahn and he never pulled it off. The late 00's fraternity of comedians is a pretty tight knit group and whenever you have someone like Zahn try to infiltrate it usually just never works.

I wont even go into the plot because i really implore you guys not to waste your time. If they made like an outtake of just Longs and Hills scenes, then and only then would i recommend having anything to with this movie.

In other words:

Strange Wilderness verdict - NOT GUILTY!!! (avoid at all costs)
