Reclusive country folk Bella and Hector become foster parents to Ricky, a problem child from the city. After some adjustment, things go reasonably well. However, Bella's death means that Hector must now look after Ricky himself, and they haven't been getting along. Her death causes Child Services to decide to send Ricky back to the orphanage. Ricky refuses to go back and runs away, ultimately sparking a national manhunt for him and Hector.

    I really liked this movie. I was adopted..more than once. My mom died at 52 just as we were starting a real relationship. Really resonated with me. Thank you

    Funny, heartwarming and one of my all time favorite movies and I could watch it over and over. Julian Dennison who plays Ricky Baker is charming and such a wonderful actor.

    Offbeat, Warm, and Genuinely Charming "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is a quirky and heartfelt adventure that perfectly blends humor with emotion, delivering a story that's as funny as it is unexpectedly touching. It's not a loud or flashy film, but its charm lies in its originality and the sincerity of its tone. Taika Waititi's direction gives the movie a distinct personality, using deadpan humor and visual wit to elevate what could have been a simple coming-of-age tale. The balance between comedy and emotional beats is handled with confidence, allowing the film to shift moods naturally without ever feeling forced. The performances are a major strength. The chemistry between the leads feels natural and endearing, grounding the story and giving real emotional weight to their journey. Their interactions carry the film, making even the quieter moments engaging and memorable. Visually, the New Zealand landscapes are beautifully used, adding a sense of freedom and adventure that mirrors the characters' emotional growth. The pacing is steady, keeping the film light and engaging while giving key moments space to resonate. "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" may not aim for grand drama, but it succeeds through warmth, humor, and heart. It's an entertaining and sincere film that leaves a smile behind - a solid and enjoyable watch.

    In addition to the stunning views of the New Zealand bush, this is a complex story of a loving relationship between a grumpy old man and a damaged Court-placed juvenile.

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a heartwarming and hilarious adventure that showcases Taika Waititi's signature comedic sensibilities. The film follows the unlikely duo of a rebellious teenage boy and his grumpy foster uncle, played to perfection by Sam Neill.
Waititi, an expert at balancing humor and heart in his films, creates a poignant and meaningful story about family, belonging, and resilience. Neill’s performance is a standout, bringing depth and humanity to his gruff but lovable character.
It’s been on my watchlist for awhile, but finally crossed it off.  The entire family really enjoyed it. Worth checking out.

    This has become my second favorite film of all time (just behind "Perfect Days"). The interaction between Sam Neill and Julian Dennison is unrivalled. This is a must-watch!

    Fantastic movie about finding where you belong, even if you don’t know when that started. Comedy around serious situations.

    Taika Waititi can deliver big laughs with heart better than anyone in the business.
