Critics Consensus

Strange Wilderness is a laugh-free comedy that's both aimless and overly crass.

There's nothing in this lame, low budget stoner flick that even peeps above the parapet of the ordinary.

About as funny as watching a cute animal die a long slow death - and probably as painful.

Strange Wilderness offers little in the way of laughs or depth, but if low-brow comedy is your niche, then you could do a lot worse.

This lame wildlife safari can at least claim to be environmentally friendly: all the jokes are recycled.

This is a very underrated comedy that went unnoticed as it was released around the same time as some very large name movies. With humor similar to that of Grandma's Boy, this lighthearted movie does not take itself seriously and provides a much needed reprieve from what comedy has become. If you have not seen this movie, you owe it to yourself to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
