Mountain Men

This was more serious than what I thought I was in for. While I would have preferred something that was pure comedy with a bit of estranged brothers reconciling, this was a good movie that I thought handled mental illness in a very striking and interesting way. I was entertained and really liked the ending.

Toph Pollard (Tyler Labine) is a weed dealer. His brother Cooper (Chace Crawford) is visiting for their mother's wedding. The brothers head up to the family mountain cabin to kick out a squatter. They are both dealing with issues and their resentments bubble up as things get out of hand.

There is a genre switch in the middle. The first half is a rather sparse family comedic drama. Labine tries to do a little comedy. It's a limited indie and then it turns into a survival adventure. That has some fun and thrills. This movie has a little bit of humor and a little bit of adventure. It's a little bit.

Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.Lovely to see Tyler Labine out of his comedy comfort zone and doing good at it to.

When watching a movie, I look for a couple of things that make the movie worth watching: Is it keeping my attention or boring me, Would I be willing to watch it again, just to name a few. Well, although the beginning didn't look promising, the movie actually turned out to be good. The actors were correctly picked for their parts and were very convincing. The brothers interacted well, and I eventually got that good feeling I was looking for. I felt very satisfied that the movie left no questions unanswered. I would watch it again as I feel their were some things that might have been missed first time around. I give it a solid 7 out of 10. Enjoy!

I didn't know I was about to watch a Canadian film but right there, in the first scene, the talk is about going to Kelowna for an abortion. No American would know where Kelowna is, but I as a Canadian certainly do.

Shot in Revelstoke (the extreme skiing capital of this country), the scenery is fantastic. BTW: if you don't know what province I'm talking about yet (or what a province is), you're not from around here.

It's all about how 2 brothers initially perceive each other, one supposedly a looser and the other supposedly successful, and how that changes as the truths to come out being stuck together. Turns out the successful one has a few downfalls while the looser has many undiscovered strong qualities.

What makes the movie interesting is the successful guy keeps thinking he's right about everything even when he's blatantly proven wrong. The looser takes some big chances that prove to be the right moves like lowering his brother down a cliff. If I were the one being lowered I'd be freaked out too.

In the end, they truly are brothers and not so far off. Worth the watch where only a few have watched.
