Poor Max Grabelski doesn't have any luck at all. What little he had runs out when local racketeers set the bungling delivery man up to take the fall for their money-laundering schemes. Sure enough, wh... read more read more...en the government agents arrive, he is found holding a package filled with loot. Not only that, but the Feds think he is the one who killed a notorious gambler/con artist. Max flees and ends up being mistaken, by six Boy Scouts, for the veteran mountain guide who is supposed to take them into the wilderness for a weekend campout. This slapstick comedy chronicles his crazy adventures as the lifelong city dweller tries to survive in the rugged new environment after he leads the trusting troop down the wrong trail to Devil's Peak. Comic mayhem ensues, but in the end, the young men and their new leader learn valuable lessons about themselves. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Unfunny.
  • October 16, 2009
    Has its moments, but not as funny as many other Daniel Stern films. Just average.
  • January 22, 2007
    decent family flick
  • September 9, 2007
    A childhood favorite - and for some reason - I have a soft spot for camping movies.
  • May 1, 2009
    One of my favorite comedies. I have watched this so many times I'm surprised the tape is still in good shape. Laughs at nearly every turn and is a heartwarming movie too.

    Plays off the popularity Daniel Stern got from getting the crap knocked out of him in the Home Alone movies. He gets the crap knocked out of him in the wilderness in this one.

A bush-league kiddie comedy in The Mighty Ducks mode.

After a funny opening, it goes downhill very quickly.

The kind of bubble that early man would rub on himself to ward off biting insects. Full Review
