Mountain Men (2014)

Mountain Men (2016) is unfunny and predictable to the point of boringness. This film is so insubstantial that it is hard to talk about. Nothing here is worthy of conversation really. The same exact plot line has been done countless times. There were no moments of suspense or doubt, as every single thing could be seen from a mile away. Both the acting and directing are passable, but the film suffers tremendously from being too cliché. The message that is trying to be portrayed is not only extremely obvious but it is repeatedly shoved down your throat. The consistently flat jokes never seem to get any funnier or even better. 'Mountian Men' is hardly entertaining and is not worth the time spent watching it.

Bought this on Netflix and pleased we did. Well chosen cast played things naturally which, with the restrained unflashy directing, made great use of the atmosphere and amazing location.Chace Crawford and especially Tyler Lebine do an excellent job of carrying the movie, which is 90% a two hander.It has some laugh out loud moments which I won't spoil and a nice set up and exploration of family tension. Overall a good movie and one I would recommend. It also does the Canadian tourist industry no harm, as we want to visit now!

Mountain Men is one of the funniest survival films I've seen to date! Starring Tyler Labine, as Toph, and Chace Crawford, as Cooper, the film blends together a perfect smattering of humor and heartfelt moments. Despite the often quiet, contemplative turns the film takes, I was left in stitches all the way through. In the wake of their father's disappearance, the two brothers embark on an unexpected journey of reconnection. The conclusion of which left me feeling satisfied; the kind of satisfied that reminds me to call my brother and let him know that I love him. Real-life brother and director Cameron Labine did a wonderful job of bring this film to life. The cinematography is breathtaking and perfectly captures the isolation of being lost in the snowy wilderness. The beautiful Canadian outdoors acts as a stunning backdrop to the emotional rapport that builds between the brothers as they come to terms with the loss of their father. Smart, heartfelt, and funny, this film is a much watch!

After seeing Mountain Men I felt as though I was put up against the elements to fight for survival. The Director, Cameron Labine, did an amazing job of engrossing the viewer and bringing the film to life. The cinematography was breathtaking and the acting done by Chace Crawford and Tyler Labine was riveting. The way the Canadian Scenery was captured made me feel as though I was in the wilderness. As well due to both actors' performances, the estranged family dynamic was easy to follow and relate. Apart from the drama in the film, a comedic side was also prominent throughout. There was a nice balance of drama and comedy. It had me laughing but also on the edge of my seat. Tyler Labine, known for his comedic roles, adds comedy to the film but also does an amazing job of bringing out a dramatic side, which is not often seen. Overall the film was great and I recommend it to anyone seeking a drama with comedic relief that deals with family struggles and a story of survival.
