My wife had gone to a girls only night out to see Mamma Mia, so what was a redblooded (albeit elderly) male to do but go to see "Hunt for the wilderpeople". So glad I did - the film is great for all who love New Zealand the way we (probably mistakenly, but what the heck!) think it used to be. Barry Crump, iconically remembered for "A good keen man" is the inspired author of this lovingly brought to life story of two misfits who actually are not, when in the bush. Even the minor roles are hammed up to perfection, especially the lovely mother who died too young, and the Maori lady from "the welfare" - all I can say about her is move over Darth Vader, you've met your match... See it for the bush, see it for the comedy, see it for a subtle but deep appreciation of the human comedy, but above all see it - you'll be so glad you did...
