    Strange Wilderness has three bad comic ideas for every good joke, and it botches many of those, too, thanks to slack comic timing and a nonexistent grasp of storytelling basics. But just when the flop-sweat stench is about to become unbearable, Strange Wilderness stumbles upon an uproarious, laugh-out moment, and suddenly it's tolerable again for another few minutes.
  2. Aside from the waste of a talented cast, the only thing that really caught my attention was the tomblike silence of the audience--at least until the bong jokes started.
  3. This one has the feel of being penned on rolling papers, with room to spare.

    By far the funniest part of Strange Wilderness is the trailer for "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" that's running before it.

    This movie is really underrated. There were plenty of scenes worthy of my laughter.
  4. Don't bother wasting your time on this one it's not really funny. There are some chuckle worthy moments scattered throughout, but for the most part its humor is either too stupid or too vulgar to garner a laugh. And when it's not vulgar or stupid it's offensive and disgusting. They try to make a joke out of a man who was just cut in half, show us a mans deformed genitals, and throw so many gay and dick jokes at us that all I did throughout this movie was groan at how painfully boring this movie can be. Like I said there are a few chuckle worthy moments and all of them are in the trailer. Don't watch this crap. Expand
