Sigh. Yet another pointless coming-of-age rites-of-passage film. This gunk was old hat in the early 1970's with the execrable "Bless the Beasts and Children" (which I remember being forced to watch in a "Man and Society" class in high school.) It ought to have been left in that decade.
WWS is just more of the same old tough-guy-mistreats-the-wimp and-ends-up-relying-on-him stuff. Cliche buncombe.
The movie has its good points: the locations are certainly lovely, and the photography is postcard perfect, and that's about it.
Don't waste your time, though. Kevin as a rough tough survivalist type? Talk about requiring TOTAL suspension of disbelief! If you want to see a good Kevin Bacon movie, then watch the 1990's horror-comedy "Tremors." At least it wasn't intended to be taken seriously. Avoid this.
