Review: At first I only watched this cuz I heard that now 17 yr old Michael Galeota played in it when he was younger, and it was a good movie, it also has some other young boy actors like Blake Bashoff when they were younger, It's a cute movie.

Summary: Feels like a Disney film but jokes keep it from failing
Review: Before I begin this review, let me make something clear. This is not a good film, it is not a bad film, it is different. Although the story line is unrealistic and the acting is below the level of good, Bushwhacked manages to squeeze past the realm of boring and stupid films into just being a plain average film worth renting but not buying. Daniel Stern's downfall was probably after Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. After the Home Alones success, it seemed that Stern had just retired or disappeared. Now seen on the ABC show Regular Joe (which is probably going to be canceled), Stern has proven that he has lost his touch when he became the stupid hero instead of the guy who we wanted to get hurt. Bushwhacked is not a big-budget film and it wasn't a box office blowout either but the vast array of child stars once again turns it into one of those Disney films where good always wins and gets rewards while evil is severely punished for lying and stealing. DVD is barely worth it since it doesn't contain many extra features. Bushwhacked is long forgotten if just never known because it was just nothing, a film that had no good stuff but no bad either.Stern stars at Max Grabelski, a wild and rude delivery man who after getting caught up in a web of lies, crooked F.B.I. agents, and money travels to Devil's Peak disguised as a forest ranger with several kids to find out what has happened. No super actors or acting in this film and no spectacular effects either. Once again, Bushwhacked is a plain family film. Rent it when you have nothing to do or nothing good is on TV. As for buying, Bushwhacked will probably lie under a large pile of dust for years to come.

Summary: Great fun for the whole family! Great laughs for all!
Review: Daniel Stern is a pretty good guy but down on his luck. He gets framed for murder and goes on the lam as a Ranger Scout leader! When the real Scout leader follows his trail with some imposter G-men, Mad Max (Stern) shows that he really does have what it takes to be a fine young scout!

Summary: Bushwhacked
Review: Daniel Stern plays Max Grabelski, a cheap delivery-guy who is framed for murder. He tries to find the man who framed him in Devil's Peak. Although there is a catch; in order to avoid trouble, he has to pretend to be a scout leader who leads kids to Devil's Peak. As he leads the kids into the woods, the laughs begin as Stern is attacked by a bear, plays with a beehive, discusses the birds and the bees and other wild adventures that make this movie an A+!

Summary: Not memorable, and not that funny
Review: I wasn't expecting much from Daniel Stern, after all, I've only ever seen him in the Home Alone movies, and he had a buddy in that, to bounce off. When he's alone, he's just not that terrific. Plus, the blurb on the back of the case didn't really tell me what to expect from the movie. The blurb could have been re-written, to make it sound more appealing. Predictably, there's also a few Home Alone references thrown in there.
Playing a hapless delivery man, with awful hair, he gets framed for murder, which leads him into all kinds of hi-jinx, including adopting the identity of Cub Scout leader. A kid hater at its worst, he becomes almost a Pied Piper type, as he leads the kids on a rowdy trek. Although Stern plays the loveable idiot quite well, it's painful to watch sometimes, as he's so OTT.
The scenery, is a bonus about the movie, filmed around the Lake Tahoe area. A lot of the movie has taken its inspiration from other movies, particularly, I felt, the Honey I Shrunk The Kids series.
I just wasn't sure about this movie. Wasn't particularly fussed whether I watched the film or not. I definitely wouldn't buy it. It's not worth the money.

Summary: Bushwhacked
Review: I watched this movie for the first time in the theaters in 1995, as soon as it came out on tape, it was very hard to find although I wanted it. I copied one from the video rental store, and have watched it soo many times that the quality is getting poor. The movie was wonderful and I reccomend it to all who are looking for a good laugh! It's a great movie to buy for kids or adults, so check it out! :)

Summary: Stern is terrific
Review: Max Grabelski (Daniel Stern in full-on Home Alone mode) is a sleazy delivery man perpetually stuck in a 1970's time-warp (puh-lease tell me where I can get one of those shirts). He struts his way down the street to Bee Gees tunes and behaves like Disco Stu from The Simpsons. He's got a little con going on after working hours in which he delivers clandestine packages to some rich guy (a weak Anthony Heald) for big tips. He needs escapism and the mystery of the con makes him feel like a spy. Until that is, when Max is framed for murder and has to run for his life.
While trying to intercept the last in the series of suspicious packages (located in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest) in order to clear his name, Max is mistaken for a world famous Scout Leader and has to lead a bunch of adventure-hungry kids into the wilderness and shake off the pursuing FBI.
Daniel Stern's physical comedy is just plain hilarious and his comic timing is perfect. For anyone who liked him in Home Alone 1 and 2 you'll love him in this also. The kids are surprisingly not that annoying. Usually I hate kids in movies (Jurassic Park, Hook, The awful Von Trapp children) but they had enough character and laughs among them to make it okay.
I only ever had a problem with the ending. It was just too tame for a PG-13 rated movie. Instead of Gordy's far-fetched fall into the ravine I would have preferred that the entire balcony of the cabin to collapse and the bad guy fall to his death. Plus the bad guy is kind of weak, his accent is just plain odd and he has this strange sort of campness and not scariness about him. Too bad since Anthony Heald has played some true scumbags in his time.
These 2 complains aside Bushwhacked is great adventure movie with a lively score by Bill Conti (why is there no soundtrack CD?). It's probably best enjoyed in Spring/Summer and is perfect for the whole family. An admirable amount of laughs indeed.
The DVD is a godsend for anyone who had to suffer the terrible pan-and-scan video (like me), which half the picture missing. Now Bushwhacked is presented in full 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and it looks just fine. The sound is simple Dolby 2.0 but it's more than adequate. Extras are thin, consisting of just a Bushwhacked trailer (quite good) and couple of other Fox family movie trailers.
But for the price, Bushwhacked is a must, regardless of extras or not. Though this time I would I liked to have seen some.
