Strange Wilderness
Fred Wolf

Turkey.
The low point, or highlight, depending on your predilection, is when wildlife show host Peter Gaulke (Steve Zahn wearing out his slacker persona’s thin charm) gets his private parts stuck in a turkey’s throat.
The situation is ludicrous enough to raise a smile, but it is played out for too long.
Another contender for low point/highlight is when Gus Hayden (The X-Files’ Robert Patrick), a trekker who can supposedly lead Gaulke’s gang of misfits to Bigfoot, drops his trousers to reveal some bizarre-looking genitalia after a story about getting his testicles ravaged.
By this point, it should be clear whether this movie is for you or not.
