Wild America has the appearance of an old-school wilderness adventure, but lacks an involving story to anchor all the outdoor action. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
The fearless young Stouffer brothers -- Marty (Scott Bairstow), Mark (Devon Sawa) and Marshall (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) -- can hardly imagine going into the family business hawking auto parts in small-town Arkansas. With the begrudging approval of their no-nonsense father, the brothers set out on a dangerous cross-country camping trip, intending to capture on film their encounters with wild animals and the last remnants of the natural world in the rapidly vanishing American West.

Dec 31, 2011Wild America was a good little film with a decent cast, story and directing. This film isn't as bad as so many others have said it would be. The film has an interesting and fun story, and the cast is pretty good considering that overall they're not very good actors in general terms to begin with. Wild America is fun entertainment for the entire family to enjoy. There's a nice blend of comedy and drama that gives it a unique viewing experience, and like I said, the cast for what they do, do it well, despite the fact that most aren't good. I enjoyed the film and how it was different from other drama comedy films, and it was a flawed, but enjoyable film nonetheless. Wild America is adventure film that delivers some memorable comedic bits. Like every other comedy films, this film manages to be amusing and there are lots of good elements that people don't give credit to. This is a much better film than most people would care to admit, and I'm not a fan of the actors in question, but I give them credit for delivering something fun on-screen. If you're looking for an entertaining family film that has good laughs, adventure and a good story, this film is a good choice. Though flawed, Wild America is far from being a bad film, and I think it's fairly underrated, and deserves a bit more credit than all the flack it has received. This film is actually the best performances of Jonathan Taylor-Thomas and Devon Sawa who are overall bad actors. A must see for Adventure film fans looking for a good dose of comedy to boot.Alex r Super Reviewer

Mar 28, 2010I love this in the fact that it's so much fun and a great story about brothers. The road story aspect also sets it apart from the majority of other coming of age dramas. I really thought the cast worked well together and made the biopic element come off a lot more accurate.Conner R Super Reviewer
