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.

It made me laugh but, hey, either you’re in the mood for this kind of thing or you’re not.

Consistency isn't much a concern of
Strange Wilderness, and neither is commitment: The boys break character and crack up before the last scene has even finished unspooling. Glad somebody's having a good time.

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

Strange Wilderness should be funny. Well, it should at least be funnier than it is.

In a movie like this, you expect the story to be secondary to the gags. But in
Strange Wilderness' case, the gags are desperate and increasingly feeble -- so there’s not much purpose to the proceedings.

Strange Wilderness takes a talented cast and a promising premise and strands them in the woods with hardly a laugh at their disposal.

Strange Wilderness is a stoner comedy you might describe as 90 minutes of a joy buzzer to the penis.

Strange Wilderness comes across as a lazy and sloppy project slapped together over a weekend in a haze of smoke.

You'd have to be stoned out of your scrotum to have this any notion that a single moment of this crude, crotch-centric stoner comedy is funny.

This is a movie put together for moviegoers who thought
Good Luck Chuck and
Superbad were a little too mentally challenging.
12.5% Toronto Star Phil Marchand
This movie is designed for an audience that likes gross-out humour and endless silliness.
10.0% IGN Matt Wiggins
Strange Wilderness is a movie I can't recommend to anyone in good conscience. It fails on just about every level imaginable in spite of the promise of some very talented actors.

You'd have to be more than merely intoxicated to find anything about this dismal stoner comedy remotely funny. You'd have to be unconscious.
