Hilarious mixture of action and competently over the top comedy!

4 stars

Hunt for the Wilderpeople if an absolutely hilarious comedy about a boy that is in foster care, who gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He settles in with some hiccup with his new loving family. When circumstances change, he gets the news that he will be transferred to a new home. This is when he and foster “dad” go running through the forest as the police and Armed forces go over the top in an abnormally hilarious hut for the two missing ''Wilderpeople ''. I think this is a great movie to watch after a long day as it cracks me up every time I watch the movie. Also this Movie has the perfect division of Complete over the top action scenes, exciting and griping Adventure story and absolutely hilarious comedic scenes. I think this movie has a vast amount of effort and thought put into it not just as the story but on the messages it conveys e.g. Teamwork, trust or to always keep an open mind. Overall, I would give this move ⅘ stars as it always cracks me up when I watch it and has really good production quality and lets not get started with the sound track as the music was perfectly chosen for the movie and is mostly up-to-date and nice to listen to.
