Fall For Taika Waititi’s 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople' With The First 10 Minutes Of The Film

We probably could’ve done a better job shouting out about it, but “Hunt For The Wilderpeople” was a summer charmer that, if you haven’t seen, we urge you to watch. We don’t always come to full consensus around the Playlist office, but as each member of the team caught up with the movie over the past few months, they were fully taken with Taika Waititi‘s warm, hilarious picture, and really, it’s one we can’t recommend highly enough. And if you still need a push to watch the movie, these first 10 minutes should do the trick.

While Sam Neill is the biggest name among the cast members, it’s really Julian Dennison‘s show, with the newcomer playing Ricky, a latchkey kid without a place to call home, who, after bouncing around the foster-care system, lands with the loving Aunt Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Neill). Things go swimmingly until tragedy strikes and a string of events forces Hec and Ricky off into the woods to hide from the authorities, leading to adventure they never expected.

There are few movies this year that will be as heart on sleeve, but also completely winsome, so again, don’t be the person who is only catching up with this a few years from now. Check out the first 10 minutes below. “Hunt For The Wilderpeople” hits DVD on September 27th. [Comingsoon]
