nick s A fairly simple plot which revolved around family encounters with lethal animals. Lots of squeals. For being so isolated they seemed to have a lot of resources. The acting was quite good and the action scenes were fairly impressive & well edited. Interesting to see the young actors in situations that couldn't be filmed today for safety reasons. Also some of the animal fight scenes looked a little too authentic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Eddie B This movie is painful to watch, less because of the amateurish story and acting, but primarily due to the obvious torment being caused to the live wild animals in it. It is _not_ a film for children today to watch. However, if you want to know one of the reasons why we're in the dire predicament we're now in with the natural world, this movie provides some insight. Ignorance and arrogance abound. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Sooner or later we all have to get away from it all. Skip Robinson is married to Pat and has two kids, Toby and Jenny. For some time he's been wanting to make a life for himself and his family his own way. He hates his job and the city of Los Angeles. It's always like he's unloading on his wife and the kids. So they all decide to pack up and build a house for themselves far in the woods. They're flown to the Rocky Mountains where they discover raccoons, bears, deer, and all sorts of wildlife. They learn skills such as hunting, woodworking, fishing, making medicine etc. It's a very simple premise. Something that I suppose certain individuals can attribute to being sick of the crowded, overwhelming city life. There's gotta be a certain amount of people that just want to relax and not face the hardships of civilization and get in touch with their outdoorsyness. Director Stewart Raffill tells a family-friendly tale about living with nature in a more peaceful, quieter and simple setting. There's many bad things but also beautiful things. Sometimes the life we thought we didn't know is exactly the one we're looking for.Each day brings its own adventure. Doesn't matter if home is with other homes or outside of them as long as we are all together. A movie that's about one thing that can be quite an experience. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This does not properly depict how we should NOT interact with wild animals. Not realistic. If you mourn for "the good old days" you will love it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Obviously seeing this movie as a kid must have made a big enough impact on me that I would actually download it 35 years later. That being said, basically what you have are a bunch of actors on their last leg, using cuteness tactics with small children and tamed wild animals in the hopes of rebooting their careers. They were sufficiently successful to have a sequel and then disappearing, never to be seen again Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This was just too corny and unrealistic. The one saving grace was the scenery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
