Directed By: Fred Wolf
Starring: Steve Zahn & Allen Covert
“Strange Wilderness” tells the story of Peter Gaulke, a nature “expert” with a nature television show that airs at 3AM. Including Peter, the majority of the show’s crew are pot-heads that probably have some type of developmental disability. When Peter learns the network is going to cancel his show, he decides he is going to find Bigfoot, capture him on film, and save his show.
The humor in “Strange Wilderness” is driven by penis jokes, weed jokes, and a little shock humor. I’m sure a lot of people would find this type of humor to be “immature,” and I love a witty joke that makes you think about it before you get it as much as the next guy, but I think someone farting in a crowd of people is hysterical.
With “Strange Wilderness” being a Happy Madison production, a lot of supporting actors that you normally see in Adam Sandler movies have bigger roles in this. Justin Long and Jonah Hill also have memorable characters in this.
At only 80 minutes long, “Strange Wilderness” never has a chance to drag and the penis jokes don’t have a chance of getting old. And seeing the outcome of the crew’s meeting with Bigfoot is pretty gold.
