Overrated and overhyped
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Why are people so hung up on reality in films? We have enough reality in the world, I say bring on more unreality please. I'm more intrigued by what they thought was okay to openly portray as okay in the seventies compared to now. A wholesome family squatting on federal land, dogs fighting wildcats, Whole families soaking nude in a hot tub (!). I'm watching this in 2016 and recognize all the non-real parts, but the scenery is beautiful and if I were a kid I would dream of living in the mountains and wilderness when I grew up. What's wrong with that? I'm watching the movie now and am entertained and think many younger children would be entertained. The only downside for me is the family singalongs-definitely not my kind of music.
The family portrayed in this movie (and the two previous installments - yes, unbelievably, we watched all three) are a little smarter by the third movie, but overall should not be allowed to live in the wilderness - they are too stupid. True, this is wholesome and the small kids in our family enjoyed it, but it was truly annoying to watch the continuing stream of foolishness. I don't think the father ever shot a single wolf, even though his family was attacked on more than one occasion, but he was real good at shouting, "Get out of here!" and shooting into the air. These folks are lucky they have a dog - that dog has gotten them out of more scrapes, and put his life on the line innumerable times for his "family". I don't know what they would have done if the dog got killed. Oh, I forgot, there was always Samson the bear to save the day, if the dog wasn't around. Every time there was some kind of crisis (and there were plenty of those) the mother would end up crying and saying, "I can't take it anymore."You should understand, I am totally into family friendly movies, but this one was too much even for me, and it takes a lot to put me over that edge.
Mountain Family Robinson is a beautiful family movie, with wonderful scenery and an adequate cast. The rugged Colorado Rockies are here with all their splendor. The Robinsons face many adversities in the film, but come through all of them as a family.
aka Wilderness Family, Part III: This movie is more of the same as presented in the first two. The most disturbing part to young children may be the attitude "Mom" has when she leaves to check on her ailing mother. Otherwise, if your children liked the first or second, they'll likely enjoy this one.
