Memorable, crazy movie

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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

Mountain Men is a story of two brothers that have grown apart through time, They both grew up in a small mountain town with relatively harsh winters. The youngest chose a different path and sought out the city life in New York, while the elder brother seems to be in a small town rut, which is amplified by the news he is to be a father.The two brothers are reunited when their father dies, and mother remarries. The elder brother seems to be more open to strengthening their brotherly bond, and goes out of his way to spend time at their late fathers cabin in the mountains.After the cabin and truck were burnt up through a series of "go figure" moments. Without phone communication, and weather and time against them, the pair decide to hike to the emergency shelter in order to stay warm.The movie gets more dramatic when the younger brother breaks his leg and needs medical attention. The oldest decides to weather the elements, in a good-hearted effort to help his brother asap. The goofy bonding excursion shifts into a story physical and mental tests; all believable. The brothers take advantage of their late fathers pre-cautionary survival guide in particular circumstances that bring a pleasant, comforting feeling to the brothers. Moments of clarity, confusion, and acceptance ultimately bring the brothers closer together, and gives the youngest the peace he needs with his fathers death.The film is provides subtle humor and realistic problems that are solved appropriately, which makes it enjoyable and believable. Very well casted, and no complaints about the acting. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the message was a pleasant one.

Bought this on Netflix and pleased we did. Well chosen cast played things naturally which, with the restrained unflashy directing, made great use of the atmosphere and amazing location.Chace Crawford and especially Tyler Lebine do an excellent job of carrying the movie, which is 90% a two hander.It has some laugh out loud moments which I won't spoil and a nice set up and exploration of family tension. Overall a good movie and one I would recommend. It also does the Canadian tourist industry no harm, as we want to visit now!

After seeing Mountain Men I felt as though I was put up against the elements to fight for survival. The Director, Cameron Labine, did an amazing job of engrossing the viewer and bringing the film to life. The cinematography was breathtaking and the acting done by Chace Crawford and Tyler Labine was riveting. The way the Canadian Scenery was captured made me feel as though I was in the wilderness. As well due to both actors' performances, the estranged family dynamic was easy to follow and relate. Apart from the drama in the film, a comedic side was also prominent throughout. There was a nice balance of drama and comedy. It had me laughing but also on the edge of my seat. Tyler Labine, known for his comedic roles, adds comedy to the film but also does an amazing job of bringing out a dramatic side, which is not often seen. Overall the film was great and I recommend it to anyone seeking a drama with comedic relief that deals with family struggles and a story of survival.
