Tex Montana Will Survive!

So, I watch a lot of movies. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Dramafever, Fmovies.... A lot. Always looking for that thing, willing to watch lower level movies if needed because, well, I watch 20-30 movies a week. Plus TV eps. And don't get me started on GOT. ANYWAYS>>>> This movie delivered for me on so many levels. It starts off innocently enough, decent premise, and then just gets better all the way through. The main character reveals who he really is in stages. It's kinda cathartic. All the while it's very funny. It borders on too far nicely, but never crosses the line. It's kinda my perfect movie right now. Love it and Jeremy Gardner in general (am researching this amazing dude). A Smart, Clever, Modern movie with deep intelligence and meaning behind it. Enough said, just watch it and enjoy.

Talk about a lot with a little. Tex Montana Will Survive is an economical picture. Squeezing out an 84 minute improvisational survival comedy on a reported $1,500 budget is no small feat. The film is made more impressive when you learn O. hannah Films went out of their way to crowdfund the money to release this movie for FREE. If that's not doing it for the art I don't know what is.

The film itself is akin to a survival documentary series--think Survivorman--featuring the blissfully stupid Tex Montana, who goes off the grid into the wilderness to prove to he's the real deal.

Things go poorly as we watch Montana use his "skill" to endure a harsh winter, dwindling supplies, and lack of overall knowledge about anything pertaining to nature or survival.

The film is entirely improvisational and your enjoyment will depend on your liking of co-director and star Jeremy Gardner in the title (and only) role. Tex Montana is pompous, ignorant, but lovable simpleton played with charisma and fearlessness.

Naturally with an improvised movie, there will be some jokes that miss their mark, but for the most part the film is funny and moves briskly. The setting and visuals are impressive for the budget and the film has no shortage of ideas. My favorite moment being Montana playing the drums with bones he says he salvaged from the remains of a dead bear cub. If that sounds funny to you, check it out.

Ok so first please let me say this is just my opinion, second let me say this is the first time I've reviewed anything on here. But this movie is so bad I just had to say something.

The acting is terrible, jokes are repeated to death, the script if there was one is unbearable. I managed to make it most of the way through, but with just 36 minutes left of the movie I could no longer put myself through this torture.

In short I would highly recommend this movie to be permanently deleted from all records.

They obviously did not have a script. If it did, the writer should be ashamed. This guy is not funny at all. Horrible jokes and acting. This is an awful movie propped up by bs reviews. Probably had his friends review it for him.

Well, let me at least start out with the fact that I am knot a troll, or full time movie reviewer. I am no Siskel and Ebert. However, I wanted to write a small review, because this movie was such a surprise for me. I clicked on it, thinking, eh I will get bored and turn it off, but let's at least give it a moment to see what it has to offer. This really was pretty great. Tex Montana was just great, and hilarious. As the movie moves forward he really gets in touch with himself and the ***spoiler*** lies he has protrayed. I think if you give it a chance, you'll like it, perhaps not. I see there are quite a few ppl on here that do, indeed, enjoy it, so I know I am not alone. Great flick, thanks for sharing it with us, Gardner.
