“Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend. WARNING: Sad dog scene. Julian Dennison ("Deadpool 2") and Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park") give an amazing performance as grumpy unlikeable pair of guys purposely lost in the wilderness. For an "foster kid" trope, this movie really has it all.”

“Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/ZbeHUdtgPkA New Zealand has a long history of quirky movies, and _Hunt for the Wilderpeople_ is a great addition to the fold. Written and directed by Taika Waititi, this 2016 film stars Sam Neill and Julian Dennison.”

“He finally found his place, and now it's in jeopardy! The fourth feature film for the Kiwi director Taika Waititi. I loved all his films except the previous one, despite it was a famous title that the world loved, I'm not.”
