My sister and I live across the country and we watch these bad Netflix holiday movies "together" as a tradition. This one. Man. She watched it before me and weirdly kept asking if I'd watched it yet. I couldn't figure out why. NOW I know. You really can't watch this one without having someone to debrief with. Like, seriously. You've been warned. Make sure you have a buddy system in place. Just wait until the final 10 minutes. I promise it's worth it. I don't want to ruin the surprises so that's all I'll say about the plot. The down side is it's going to be hard for Netflix to top the awfulness of this one. And that makes me just a little bit sad.

Forest Warrior

Yes.
27 May 2011
One word: Yes. A three in one experience: Home Alone, PBS's Nature, and Walker, Texas Ranger all in an hour and a half!
Special effects: The special effects were excellent, particularly the sparkling light balls. We also enjoyed the animal to human transformations. Seamless.
Law enforcement: The lawyers were accurately portrayed and incredibly competent considering the fees they were charging. The permit process was entirely plausible...I mean, who needs NEPA or EPA approval anyway?
Animals: The killer chipmunk? Slam dunk. A falcon transforming into a fist? Yes please!
Life lessons: The deep and riveting plot line of the alcoholic father and the lumber tycoon who finds his morality left us wanting more. Also Chuck was full of his usual cogent remarks on life's profundities.
Fight scenes: We were on the edge of our seats. It IS Chuck. The little kid who kicks the bad lumberjack in the face was the icing on the cake.
Political Correctness: comments like pull up your pantyhose (and be a man), and those environmentalist fairies were a couple gems.
Choreography: three words -- lumberjack dance scene.
Costume design: A great tour of some timeless 90s classics. Dad and Mom jeans a plenty!
Fave quotes: "There were six of them (bad guys) and then there were five..." (because Chuck was kicking their butts!) "How very sad." "Sad this!"
