    Amedy (coming to age comedy)

    I like coming of age movies, Danny McBride and comedies. What's not to like. There's a purposeful back woods element that might turn some off but I loved it.

    Think it was filmed in Shenandoah mountains too!

    Funnier than others reviewed

    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.

    Not as bad as people say...

    It's your traditional father-son comedy where he wants to reconnect post-divorce. I've gone deer hunting before so I could relate to some aspects of it. The comedy aspect of it is average. Overall, it's an enjoyable film to watch if you want to kill time and eat dinner. The acting overall was pretty decent with Brolin playing the stereotypical country Dad trying to convert his son (a suburban kid) to his outdoor lifestyle.

    Overall, I could relate to this so I enjoyed it and got a few good chuckles out of it.

    Not actually that bad

    I don't think I would like it but it was ok. Entertaining. The boy wasn't the best actor though

    Good decent father and son movie

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