Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Andrew Pelechaty Funny, moving, absurdly funny, picturesque and quintessentially Kiwi, "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is an incredible movie.Julian Dennison ("Deadpool 2") plays Ricky Baker, a troubled foster kid who moves in with a childless family Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and Hector (Sam Neill). After Bella unexpectedly dies, Ricky and Hector team up to escape Paula, the relentless Child Welfare lady (Rachel House). It escalated into a hilariously ridiculous car chase between Ricky, Hector and the police. There's a couple of brilliant cameos: writer/director Taika Waititi as a priest and Rhys Darby (Murray from "Flight of the Conchords") as conspiracy theorist Psycho Sam.Even if you only watch it for the beautiful New Zealand scenery as Ricky and Hector travel, "Wilderpeople" is highly recommended.

morrismatalon I just saw "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" (2016) and it was absolutely wonderful. All the performances were good. I didn't hate the kid and Sam Neil was very good as Hector. There was a very believable bond between Ricky and Hector, and when they had the "get mad at each other and leave" scene, it didn't feel forced (partly because of the subject matter) and I loved that it didn't go on for too long. All the cinematography was fantastic. It was very funny and I love the kind of dark sense of humor that the movie had. I think this had a great soundtrack! and it's not just great songs that already existed and wasn't composed for the movie (though there was a lot in there), also the composed music is really good. It gives off a very mysterious feeling. All the characters were very likable, and not stereotypes (except "psycho sam"), and it was great. I wouldn't give it a 10/10 like some people are, because it has some problems. There was some stereotypes in the movie, (An example being "psycho sam" being the conspiracy theorist stereotype) I think there should have been some more time devoted to the relationship between Ricky and Bella, and I think the plot was kinda predictable. But, I still think this movie was very fun and enjoyable, and I'll definitly recommend it. i give this a 8/10

Johnny H. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is Taika Waititi's fourth feature film, and arguably his finest one. I love this movie: the New Zealand scenery and cast of this film not only helps with the film's broad yet culturally specific appeal, it tells story that is hilarious, touching and very memorable. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a comedy-drama about family and how social misfits only truly understand each other. Ricky Baker is adopted by Bella and Hec. And things only get more complicated and wacky when Bella passes away, leaving Hec to take care of Ricky himself.The film takes surprising turns when you least expect it to. It's still very much a comedy but one that takes emotional risks for the sake of the story rather than shock value. Taika Waititi based this film off a book, that may have been so niche that it doesn't have its own wikipedia page. It's great we live in a world where a director like Waititi gives life to a story where the world doesn't realise it wants it or needs it. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one such film.If you want a film that provides belly-laughs and great characters, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is surprisingly easy to get into. Watch the film; just see it asap. It's a Kiwi-delight and one of 2016's best movies.
