    As a New Zealander this film was just amazeballs to watch. I'm glad the rest of the world has had the privilege of seeing it. Plus for me there is a whole other level of comedy because so many of the pop culture references resonate so much more than with the international audience.

  • @Cliffdog01
    @Cliffdog01 8 років тому +151

    This is one of the most interesting reviews I have seen in a while. I am a New Zealander and really enjoyed the Wilderpeople but curious to see how a film that has a heavy Kiwi influence with plenty of in-jokes and references. I felt like others might not get our brand of comedy (particularly with the hunting scenes) and certainly wouldn't relate to parts.

      Man I love how they just embraced that this was an NZ movie, so many references and jokes, but they didn't go overboard. Also Ricky reminds me of a New York run away kid. Thinking he's some sort of gangster and New Zealand is some sort of South Korea, every man for himself survive. When really we're just a happy and green country and I love Ricky seeing the truth through out the movie.

    This is one of the main things that separates Stuckmann from Jahns to me, Chris does reviews of lesser films, maybe as he has more time or interest in these types whereas I get the impression Jeremy has more events to go to & does all the big named films, like them both btw so no hate

      Stuckmann gets more into the technical aspects of a movie whereas Jahn gives more fun and casual preview; which is funny, because their clothing styles is the opposite: Jahn dresses like he is going to a formal event (with the exception of the Star Wars previews), and Stuckmann sticks with T-shirt most of the time.

The child service woman was incredible, loved seeing her in Thor ragnarok. The thing I love about this film is how human the characters are and the tragicomedy genre. It’s strange how a film can make you laugh and cry at the same time and this film just does it all so brilliantly

    Just watched it finally and and I looooooved it! Very human, funny, well written, acted and directed. It's a feel good movie that don't seem to be done that often and that well theses days. Plus, I lived in New Zealand(I'm Canadian) for a while and while I'm planing to move there again and indefinitely at some point, this movie gave me some big nostalgic chills. Such a great and beautiful country :)

    I went to an Art Theatre that shows independent films, and before I saw Finding Dory there, they had a "Turn Off Your Cellphone" ad before the trailers, with the 2 main characters from this movie, that was pretty hilarious.

  • @theolamp5312

    +Chris Stuckmann - I just saw this film 5 days ago. I loved it even more after I had a chance to reflect on it. Great performances, and wonderful cinematography. I can only imagine how beautiful a place New Zealand must be. Also, some of the attention to details and the eccentricities of the characters (such as The Bush Man)reminded of Wes Anderson's films. As you said, we need to support films like this, to have more of them made. If we don't support them, they may become as extinct as the dodo bird. I feel the same way about SING STREET (only $3 million in US box office). I wish you would also review that film. Please !!!

  • @Pdids01
    @Pdids01 8 років тому

    Even higher on this than you are, I'd give it an A/A+ and think it's one of the best comedies of the modern era. Certainly streets ahead of things like 'What We Do in the Shadows'. I think the last time I was this impressed with a comedy was 'The Guard'.
    Nice review and I'm glad you got to this one. I know you tend to review more mainstream films than independent and smaller budget ones, so seeing this here was a nice surprise.
    Not that you're like to consider my suggestions, but the film I'm most eager to see you review is Hong-Jin Na's 'The Wailing', a Korean horror-mystery that's a whirlwind of genres. I was lucky enough to catch it in theaters near Philadelphia, and I have to say it's my favorite film of 2016 thus far.

  • @FVD

    Hey Chris, if you ever get round to reading this - Hunt for the Wilderpeople was adapted from a book entitled 'Wild Pork and Watercress' by the late Barry Crump, who was an icon in NZ. Sam Neill's Uncle Hec was inspired by Crump too, in fact. There was also a cameo later in the film by a man named Lloyd Scott, that if you ever get the chance, there was a series of hilarious Toyota Hilux TV commercials during the 80's, where both of them featured. I believe they're on UA-cam too if you search 'Barry Crump' 'Toyota Hilux' - something to that effect. They were quite entertaining watching them as a kid round Julian Dennison's age - just saying... :)

    Hi Chris, love your channel.
    I have being going through your older reviews and may I suggest you making different groups for the movies you have reviewed (like A, B, C grades) so that we can look for recommended films other than A+ grade ones quickly. There are times when I was searching for missed gems but have limited time, like when I wanted to check out some older blu-ray discs in a shop, I need to fast forward your reviews to the end and see the grade. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching every reviews you've made but that would make our life easier.
    Keep up the great work! Cheers!
    Alex L.
