The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter

Jody Hill has locked onto an incredible comedic formula that basically consists of Danny McBride saying terrible, unfiltered things in front of children. It's great. It works. I'm still not tired of it even after two series runs on HBO.

The problem here is that this film straddles the line between PG-13 and R, leaving the tone of the movie too much for the family-friendly crowd and too little for McBride fans. It's possible more content was filmed and later cut to slide under R as the run time is only around 80 min.

Plot and pacing hit all the right beats. The setups were a bit obvious, but the payoffs were rushed through, which actually sort of compensated because at least there were no repeat beats.

Despite struggling to find a tone, this film works as a whole. Satire hits home. Casting was a blank check. Performance sold the characters, and I swear whoever Jody uses for music department is spying on my Spotify recently played.

If your a single divorced father, you can relate to this movie.

Tolerable father son adventure comedy but really nothing special our outstanding. A father tries to reunite and connect to his son by going with him on a hunting trip, which is not only showing him about his profession but also a family tradition, but of course the young boy doesnt really care for that. Yeah the story is noting new or special at all nor is it very inspired. The film however has good qualities in the acting department. Josh Brolin was great and took his role very seriously. Good performance. Also Montana Jordan was pretty good as his son. Danny McBride tolerable as the sidekick. The film had beautiful images and a very nice cinematography. But besides that it fell rather flat and even at the rather short running time often appeared to be overlong and boring. The father son thing was predictable and something we saw in dozens of variations hundreds of times on screen already. Still it was not a complete waste of time, but probably could have been much better.

Think it depends on people's sense of humor. We thought it was funny. A mild funny but funny dad and son coming of age hunting movie. The scenes were beautiful. Give it a chance.

This film tells the story of a hunter who takes his son for a hunting trip for bonding.

The film features stunning scenery, and a lot of believable human interactions. It is a good film describing bonding. The boy is quite convincing as a spoiled kid, and the father makes a lot of effort to bond with the son. I enjoyed watching it.
