The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter wastes a promising premise and talented cast on a frustratingly uneven comedy that lacks enough laughs to forgive its narrative flaws.

It's just not funny. It's earnest and heartfelt, but the jokes miss or are omitted. October 17, 2018 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

It goes on the hunt for something of sustenance but comes home mostly empty-handed, and a good Josh Brolin performance is at least some kind of consolation prize. August 13, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter could have been really funny, provocative, or something in between. The cast was decent. The premise was sound. And yet, it's only slightly better than an unfruitful hunting trip. August 13, 2018 | Rating: 5.9/10 | Full Review…

The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, like so many other Netflix movies, feels like a first draft that still could use some more punching up and focus. August 13, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

While The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter doesn't come close to being on-par with Hill's other work, being too mainstream and toned-down, it's still a solid watch and good for a few laughs. August 13, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Still, Hill's choices are mostly smart, and the film works well when throwing the three men - Brolin, McBride, and Jordan - together into set pieces recycled from better comedies. August 13, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

It's a shame that such an idiosyncratic father/son story still feels so rote and recycled, suffering under the weight of its silly desire to constantly verbalize and explain even the tiniest of character moments. July 19, 2018 | Full Review…

Though billed as a comedy, this is a quiet, observational movie that takes some time to grow on you. July 13, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Comedy is here, but not always a priority to Hill, who's aiming for more of a character study than a laugh riot, and this picture doesn't benefit from a general muting of silliness. July 11, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
