Movie Review

Grade: B- Wild America has lots of comedy and adventure, supported by a good cast and plot. Unfortunately, the animatronics are horrible! The bears and the deer look very fake up close and you can see the strings supporting the snakes. Also, Marshall is a dreamer and they throw in many pointless scenes based on that aspect. Wild America is funny but looks very cheesy and unprofessional. Read the full movie review
