Strange Wilderness 2008

I love Happy Madison. I love Jonah Hill. I basically all of this cast. I wish I loved this movie. Everything about it screams something I should undeniably love. Unfortunately, it just is not funny enough to stand up with any of those things/peoples catalogs. It has its moments. It has some quotes. It is still a fun way to pass time. But this is more of a deep dive for people that like these things than it is a must watch.

so, I know this is not a good movie. even the funny parts shouldn't be funny. but i enjoy watching it repeatedly. and it's not like it grew on me. I wanted to see it when it first came out because of bigfoot, the cast, even the name of the movie. for some reason, I hadn't watched it in years, but decided to recently. and the first time, I just couldn't believe some parts. like, how are the actors saying these lines and not feeling embarrassed? sheer absurdity. but I like that it's not trying to be absurd for absurdity's sake. maybe I'm wrong. that's why i say my ratings are based on enjoyment, not quality. even considering the quality of my other favorite movies, this one would still count as a guilty pleasure. the one and only part I truly disliked (of all things lol) was cheryl speaking spanish. she only ever said the same 4 words

*nope, i am not a stoner. not even close. tried it maybe 3 times

Only bearable if you touched weed.

Just terrible. A few laughs but overall this was not good. An extra point because Justin Long’s character actually made me laugh.

Had one two good moments but bad in overall
