I don't know why this movie has a below 7 rating.

He makes one major mistake at the start of the movie, of moving from the safety of his camp where he has an indefinite amount of food because of a lake underneath with fish. He does it because he is unsure if he will be rescued in time because his partner needs medical attention. Looking back after seeing the full movie, we can see that this was a grave mistake (but if not for this there would have been no movie, and it would have been just boring). And in the last scene he does a really stupid thing to make it dramatic. Except for these 2 mistakes, this is an 8+ movie. Everything else was brilliant.

Please do see it. I saw it accidentally because there was nothing else and was glad that I did. It is unexpected. It is different from our regular superhero movies and a welcome fresh air. I was continuously at the edge of my seat and feeling the something will happen at anytime.

Nature is more dangerous than any kind of man made terror.

A girl tries to spoil a man's wedding by getting him stuck with other things.

Though I sort of enjoyed some of the comedy, I had no lol moments and after some time I was wishing for it to end and when it ended I was glad.

I think 60 yrs back this would have been like a 9 rated movie, but now its a 7 at best. I think the current 8 rating is because of nostalgia for Katherine Hepburn, Grant, etc. This is not like a charlie chaplin movie, it has not aged that well.

If you are not in for nostalgia, please give it a pass.

I saw this on a whim because I think i have finished watching most good movies and couldn't find anything, and I was pleasantly surprised. In the backdrop of stunning shows like Marvel series, GoT, etc., I had almost forgotten that these kind of movies even existed.

Story is about 2 people who have been married for sometime, they are middle class, sort of satisfied with life, maybe feels a little bored with their routine, but they are not too worried that they don't have their own children, and are not trying too hard for it or anything.

Then one day the wife sees some kids up for adoption in the net, feels that they are very cute, the husband too feels the same (they actually use a lot of dog cliches, that its like rescuing one). They go for an orientation where an adult orphan girl who was adopted at 14 comes with her parents and tells them how much her life was saved and everyone understands 'why they must adopt'. And the husband who refurbishes homes feels that it is so much like taking a beat up thing, doing a little this and that and its as good as new.

And thus starts their journey into adopting, not 1 but 3 kids because the adoption agency strongly encourages people not to break up siblings.

Highly recommended. The actors are 'extremely' good. The writing is not too clever and there are many cliched moments but after seeing it I felt that it was worth it, much more than seeing an impressive Marvel flick, thats why I am bothering to even write up this long review. Please do see it. Its for your heart. :-)..........
