    A committed star

    You know, I generally hate kid's movies, but I loved this one purely for Daniel Stern. He gives an excellent physical performance taking you right back to the slapstick hits of the 1920s and 1930s. Sure, the entire film is negligible, but Stern did it for me with his commitment to the role.

    scout leader

    Daniel Stern is a courier who winds up in a bad spot, and has to make an escape,, problem is he needs to get away really quick,, and all there is around him is a bus and kids,, well he proceeds to grab a uniform,, drive the bus, and pretend to be the kids scout leader, he takes them on a trek through the wilderness. while trying to keep up with his original job of courier,, he needs to find an address and uses the kid's trip as a guise to get there,, along the way though he seems to bond with the kids,, even though he really doesn't like kids all that much , very touching and predictable,, but funny nonetheless,, overall not a bad picture,, with tons of gags and laughs.

    Funny which is most important

    Histrionics of Dan Stern is great. The nature theme is also great, nature is great.

    Marv from Home Alone is back!

    When I first saw this movie I kept thinking of it as seeing Marv moving forward and becoming a good guy. I think if you like Stern and you like Home alone movies you will like this and will most likely think of it as Marv from Home Alone as a good guy.

    Great acting by Daniel Stern

    Daniel Stern as Max is the main character in this movie, and he's hilarious. One of the best acting performances I've ever seen.

    There's also a very good storyline which is surprising for a movie of this type, and the scenery is great. The casting of characters has been well done - and the characters in this movie fit their roles as good as can be.

    This movie is a classic in my mind, but after reading some of the other reviews, I see that unless you like Daniel Stern's act you're not going to like the movie either.

    Anyway, I deeply recommend you see the movie. If you're like me, you'll love it, and if not, just turn it off after 5 minutes cause it's not gonna take more than that for you to make up your mind.

    • Trivia
      While the films young cast had to undergo training sessions for the swimming and rock climbing sequences, Daniel Stern deliberately avoided any exercise, as he felt it would better enhance just how out-of-his-element his character was.
    • Goofs
      When Agent McMurrey announces that "there is no good news as of yet", Erickson walks past him, even though he should be out in the woods with Palmer.
    • Quotes

      Fishman: Well guys, we gotta start a fire. Better start looking for pinecones.

      Max: Pinecones?

      Fishman: It says in the manual, whenever your camp is surrounded by green wood, always use pinecones to start your fire.

      Max: If the manual told you to stick your wiener in a light-socket, would you do it?

    • Alternate versions
      A deleted scene at the beginning of the film shows Max changing into his Freedom Express uniform and pretending to use his packing tape as a gun while his coworkers look on in annoyance.
