Good concept, poorly executed.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Why are people so hung up on reality in films? We have enough reality in the world, I say bring on more unreality please. I'm more intrigued by what they thought was okay to openly portray as okay in the seventies compared to now. A wholesome family squatting on federal land, dogs fighting wildcats, Whole families soaking nude in a hot tub (!). I'm watching this in 2016 and recognize all the non-real parts, but the scenery is beautiful and if I were a kid I would dream of living in the mountains and wilderness when I grew up. What's wrong with that? I'm watching the movie now and am entertained and think many younger children would be entertained. The only downside for me is the family singalongs-definitely not my kind of music.

Having not seen the two previous entries in the series I can't comment on how similar this film is to the rest of them, but what I can say is as someone who normally avoids sentimental family films like this it came as a very pleasant surprise. There were plenty of animal fights between the assorted bears/dogs/cats when the pace looked like dropping, and some moments in the film that were sweet without being corny. The acting was generally good too with the actor portraying Boomer (forget his name) being the highlight providing some welcome moments of comic relief.. love that accent too!! True, the music was universally poor (Did they have to play that damn chirpy title track 3 times? We get it.. they're happy!!) And there were some pretty unbelievable parts (Like when the father falls about 10 metres from a tree while being attacked by a bear and survives without a scratch?!) But ultimately this is a pretty decent movie for your whole clan to enjoy.. in fact its almost enough to make me want to give all my worldly possessions away to charity and go and live the simple life in the wilderness. Almost, but not quite.

Mountain Family Robinson is a beautiful family movie, with wonderful scenery and an adequate cast. The rugged Colorado Rockies are here with all their splendor. The Robinsons face many adversities in the film, but come through all of them as a family.

aka Wilderness Family, Part III: This movie is more of the same as presented in the first two. The most disturbing part to young children may be the attitude "Mom" has when she leaves to check on her ailing mother. Otherwise, if your children liked the first or second, they'll likely enjoy this one.
