This is a great movie for boys who aren't
interested in girls yet, and for girls already obsessed with boys.
Three really cute brothers, teen idols all (Jonathan Taylor Thomas,
Devon Sawa, Jamie Bairstow), buy a used 16mm camera and travel
across the United States, looking to capture endangered species
on film. Their final destination is the legendary "cave of
a thousand bears," but on the way they meet wolves, owls,
and anamatronic alligators. Computer effects make some of the
nature scenes downright weird, and considering that the movie
is set in 1967 ("Born To Be Wild" plays insistently,
repeatedly, on the soundtrack) it's possible the brothers have
discovered chemicals. Oh no, it's all squeaky clean and cute and
dumb. Bring a kid.
