Product Description
New Zealand child services placed abandoned delinquent teen Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) with lovingly receptive farm wife/foster mom Bella Faulkner (Rima Te Wiata) and her much-less-so husband Hector (Sam Neill). After Bella's abrupt death, Ricky decided to run rather than go back into the system-and as Hec pursued, they found themselves having to stay a step ahead of misapprehending authorities. Taika Waititi's acclaimed adventure-comedy co-stars Rachel House, Rhys Darby. 101 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free

Both of the lead actors do a wonderful job. But it is just amazing to see Sam Neill, the original James Bond actor, stepping out and so fully embracing this rule and basically taking it to the mat. As they say, aging is not for sissies. And he shows us once again why he was so fantastic in the "Ace of Spies" series as Sidney Reilly, the actual historical figure that the character James Bond was based on. He just _is_ the character, wonderfully believable. Older, yes. But just as attractive as he ever was, now as a more experienced person wearing "tramp about" clothes.
I had been watching the Ace of Spies series-- which I did not see when it was originally on television-- on Netflix DVDs when I got the chance to see Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Otherwise, I might not have noticed it. It caused me to look around online for more information about Sam Neill's background. Turns out he is from a New Zealand wine family and quite the wine expert. Now that's a role I can really picture him in!
So, highly recommended. Not just fine for kids; I would say it would be really good for kids. As for adults, it's a kick.
The story is fairly routine. A troubled city kid, Ricky (Julian Dennison) is sent to live with a childless couple in the country. This is the wild land where you grow and kill your own food. It's a rude awakening for Ricky. Ricky's new "aunt" Bella (Rima Te Wiata) is loving yet eccentric. "Uncle" Hec (the great Sam Neill). Hec is crotchety and cranky and begrudgedly tolerates Ricky to please Bella. Tragedy strikes and Ricky and Hec hide in the wilderness from the authorities. There is a fun and poignant story here and Ricky and Hec grew to respect each other as they stay a few steps from the law.
It's always great to see Sam Neill though it's hard to think of him as a senior. Neill was raised in New Zealand so it's nice to see him celebrating his homeland. The scenery is breathtaking and a big reason to see this lovely film. Another gem in this film is actress Rachel Hunt as Paula the somewhat well-intentioned but totally overzealous social services worker desperate to "rescue" Ricky. I love her face and great expressions.
Some reviewers have implied HUNT FOR WILDERPEOPLE is the funniest film they have ever seen. It is funny and it is cute. The comedic elements help soften the sometimes seriousness of the film as two people try to beat the offs. It's a fun and lovely film with an incredibly talented cast. THE HUNT FOR WILDERPEOPLE is the movie to see when you want something different and for a change of pace.
Magnificent film...see it

So Sam Neill and Julian Dennison (who plays Ricky, the kid (and might I add, has some hilarious dialogue in this movie)) get stuck in the woods for a week and the authority are trying to find the boy thinking that Hector (Neill) had kidnapped and used him. They stay in the woods since they know that they can't go back now with everyone looking for them but what the boy fears most is that Paula (Rachel House (also was in Thor Ragnarok)) finds him and places him in a home for orphan kids.
The chase between Paula and Ricky is hilarious, the jokes are very funny, the characters are ALL lovable (yes even Paula, the actress is so good in the role), Sam Neill has a principal role in a new movie FINALLY, Taika has a cameo as usual and the story is well thought of, simple, yet so much is going on and I love it.
I found this movie on Netfflix, I watched and loved it, then it played for 2 nights only in the theaters (which I could not attend, I was super pissed) and I bought it here on amazon and watched it again and again. Now with Thor Ragnarok out (also made by Taika Waititi) I really hope he gets known and makes lots more movies like this, also, more Neill and House and Goldlbum together would be amazing?!?
Par moment très drôle, d'autres moments sérieux et triste.
Une étude parfaite d'un jeune adolescent confronté à de nombreux problèmes dans son enfance et qui retrouve la sérénité à la campagne avec des gens aimants. Je n'en dirai pas plus pour ne pas gâcher le film.
Paysages magiques de la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Il faut peut-être connaître un peu la culture maori pour bien comprendre les réactions de ce jeune.
Je recommande ce film.
