HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE – Adventure/Comedy/Drama (2016) – Rated PG
When troublesome 13 year old orphan Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) arrives at his latest unlucky foster couple’s home, his new foster parents Aunt Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and her husband Hec (Sam Neill) are warned about him by child welfare officer Paula (Rachel House). But nothing can prepare them for what happens next, resulting in sulky Ricky and taciturn Hec being thrown together as accidental ‘wilderpeople’ in the wild New Zealand bush as they are hunted by law enforcement agencies in the mistaken belief that they – or at least Ricky – need to be rescued.
There is something most endearing about this quirky New Zealand comedy that is a mix of outdoor adventure and buddy movie and once the unexpected shifts in tone, coupled with the changing rhythms of action, dialogue and offbeat characters kick in, we are there for the ride, thanks mostly to wonderful performances by stalwart Sam Neill and youngster Julian Dennison (Paper Planes).
