Wild Pork and Watercress

Just watched the movie of this book for #MovieBookClub, Hunt for the Wilderpeople. It was a very charming movie found on Netflix. Set in New Zealand.

monalyisha I freaking LOVED this movie! That “Ricky Baker” tune gets stuck in my head *regularly.* 😅 2y

DrexEdit THERE'S A BOOK!? ? "I didn't choose the skux life. The skux life chose me." ??? that movie. I've watched it at least 3 times now. Must. Now. Read. Book! ? 2y

TheRiehlDeal I absolutely loved this movie the first time I saw it. There were some parts that were just absolute laugh out loud moments. 2y

The movie was hilarious and beautifully made. There are wonderful New Zealand scenery and witty bookish thing like actual chapters in beautiful font.i checked out the book immediately assuming I will swallow 150 pages in couple days. Unfortunately,it is not my cup of tea( Slow prose and hunting details make the book boring. After the passage where a boy walked down to a camp with dead deer whose "blood dripping down my leg-backs" I said goodbye

Lovely, easy-to-read little book about a young boy and his grumpy old uncle who are on the run from the authorities in the wilderness of New Zealand. I was sad when it was over. I recommend the movie, too.

Ok so I haven't actually read this book, but I did just see the movie they made out of it and it's DELIGHTFUL. Seriously--if it's playing near you, go see it if you can. It's so sweet and warm and also hysterically funny (also, if you're into Marvel stuff, the guy who directed this, Taika Waititi, is going to direct Thor: Ragnarok, and I'm so excited for that because he's great)!

Yamich49 Ooooo this sounds cool! 8y

Sfox414 I think it honestly might be my favorite movie I've seen so far this year. It's set in the bush in New Zealand and it's gorgeous--it's a little like the Revenant, but wayyy better. 😀 8y

CherylDeFranceschi I love his movies! They are just filled with heart. Eagle Vs. Shark is so sweet! 8y

Sfox414 Yes!! You're so right about everything being filled with heart--Boy just wrecked me when I saw it 💙 8y
