Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sharan S Okay.. So, this is my first review without a spoiler. It's because I watched a Nat.Geo documentary called Wild America in 1998 in my 5th grade classroom and wanted to watch it at home. Unfortunately my dad got the VHS of the movie called Wild America and I had no choice but to watch it. But, I was delighted as the youngest kid in the film was at that time my age and I could really connect some events. Yes, there are some immature moments in the film and it is heavily relied on the fact that this film is pure fiction as no parent would allow their kids to go on an expedition. Now, I have watched thousands of movies and I know that watching a movie like this would make you twitch as you've seen better. But, this movie is meant to be seen at the appropriate age -- the early teen years. There's no way you can really enjoy it unless you see it at that time. I don't know if I will enjoy this if I watch it now. But, as my title reads, I will remember this film as one that I watched when I was young and innocent, because that's what the movie's characters are, young and innocent.

William Porter I believe in grading movies on a curve. This one is not in the same class as Citizen Kane or Fargo or Some Like It Hot. Instead this is a low-budget and somewhat corny—okay, pretty corny—family film like, oh, Because of Winn-Dixie. And graded on the curve appropriate for that class, this is at least an 8 out of 10. I'll be honest, my wife is the one who ordered this from Netflix and I didn't want to see it. I had Gosford Park in the DVD tray ready to go. But my wife thought our 15-year old would enjoy Wild America more, and our daughter agreed. I was outnumbered. So we watched this film.I didn't know anything about it. We were a good 10 minutes or more into the film before I put the family's last name (Stouffer) together with the first name of the oldest son (Marty) and realized, "Hey, I know who this kid is: It's Marty Stouffer of..." D'oh.Anyway, I expect that the real adventures of the real Marty and his brothers weren't quite as colorful as those of the characters in the film. But there were a good combination of excitement (and from some unlikely sources, like F-14 jets dropping bombs) and genuine humor. I laughed hard again and again.Special effects? Well, I'll just say, it ain't Jurassic Park. I think the animal props were rented from a budget prop store in Atlanta. But it didn't matter. I enjoyed the film a lot. Do what I did, get some fresh hot pizza, sit back with your spouse and a kid or two, and enjoy it yourself.

brittybritt631 This movie was very good!! Jonathan Taylor Thomas is why i decided to see to it!! And to my surprise it was very good!! That is why my family bought!! If your a JTT fan you will love it and if your not it is still an good movie!! The movie is about three brothers in the 60s achieving their dreams!! IT is based on a true story but they do all this wild stuff it is hard to believe this actually happen!!! This is perfect for a movie night!!! They go to so many places and do all this stuff you probably wont want to get up for a bathroom break!! IT has humor, adventure, and a pretty good story for the little ones!! When you are at blockbuster or something and your out of ideas you should try Wild America if your seeking adventure!!!!

MovieAddict2016 "Wild America" is definitely not a great film, but it's okay. There are some interesting moments, but I found that the over-bearing sentimentality and cuteness mixed with adult content -- adult to a certain degree -- to be confusing. One tends to wonder if the film is adult, or family. Things are thrown around too much. First it's adult subject matter, then it's a broken heart moment filled with overly-sentimental acting. "Wild America" fills my list of "family films that couldn't decide to be adult or not".2.5/5 stars. If you want to see good parts, just fast-forward to scenes with the wild animals chasing the kids. It's fun to watch--John Ulmer
