3 words - Pure Cinematic Trash.

First off, Congrats IMDb for 15 years of business. keep it up.

As for this movie, I can hardly say the same. It has it's scenery, but thats not the point. the point is, it's not entertaining, the dialog is doo-doo, and the actors are bad.

First off, Dan haggerty's Grandkid plays the role of Dylan (and ironically, thats his real name too) and some girl who shares a last name with a boat takes the role of Nicole, who acts just as bad as Dylan does. and I really wish that the cave they entered really collapsed on them or that the mountain lion ate them, because their acting, was horrible! I could swear that they wrote their own scripts.

i'm watching the movie right now, and i can already say that Dylan kid is horrible at acting. he's probably reading all his lines from a dummy card outside of the shot.

As for Dan haggerty, I respect him as the guy he's portrayed, While he narrates his 70's Docu-Dramas Perfectly, his acting in this film is bad. not horrible...just bad.

And remember in the original Docu-drama, the bear was named Ben, after benjamin franklin, but he's named jack in the film! come on! What is also bad about this movie, is that it rips off a home alone style. the kids have little pieces of technology that help them achieve their goals. but they do some rather stupid stuff. for one, Dylan puts a stick of dynamite in the back of his remote control truck, and drives it into the river.

Bottom line, this movie is like a constant kick between the legs over and over again. constantly. and it hurts like hell to see how movies like this actually get onto store shelves.

1/10 - it's so bad, I don't recommend it at all.
