SUMMARY: STRANGE WILDERNESS is an unbelievably poor quality comedy about a crew making a wilderness television program. It overflows with foul language and contains abundant sex, violence, nudity, drugs and alcohol that is more then just vile, it's sickening.

IN BRIEF:

STRANGE WILDERNESS is an unbelievably poor quality comedy about a crew making a wilderness television program. It is overflows with so much foul language, sex, violence, nudity, drugs, and alcohol that it is more then vile, it's sickening. The "story" is about the vulgar, idiotic son of a popular wilderness show host who tries to keep the show going with the help of a vulgar, drug-addicted crew. Their last hope to keep the show alive is to film a Bigfoot sighting. The "story" is nothing more than excuse to use more foul language and engage in vulgar scatological activity.

This movie will be a frontrunner for our Rotten Banana Awards for the most offensive movies of the year. The acting and production quality are horrible. Whoever made this movie must think very poorly of the human race to believe a sizable number of people would want to pay money to see what they've created. Equally shocking is that this movie is released by a major studio. Particularly puzzling is the appearance of Ernest Borgnine in a bit part. Did he agree to his role without reading the entire script?
