When watching a movie, I look for a couple of things that make the movie worth watching: Is it keeping my attention or boring me, Would I be willing to watch it again, just to name a few. Well, although the beginning didn't look promising, the movie actually turned out to be good. The actors were correctly picked for their parts and were very convincing. The brothers interacted well, and I eventually got that good feeling I was looking for. I felt very satisfied that the movie left no questions unanswered. I would watch it again as I feel their were some things that might have been missed first time around. I give it a solid 7 out of 10. Enjoy!

Watched this on a plane back from Winnipeg. The great Canadian experience, visit Winnipeg, then watch a movie about 2 guys stuck in the Rockies.
Although some parts of it is very typical Canadian, they do try to make it relatable to non-Canadians by adding a couple of interesting characteristics to each of the main characters in the movie. And I think they were on the right path but could have done more with it...become even more adventurous with the plot and explore the themes of fatherhood, wilderness, success (and failure), and in general the human condition.
But that might have compromised the realism and the message of real danger in situations such as this (which is very real). Canadian wilderness is very beautiful but can be dangerous as well if you're not properly prepared.

This isn't some goofy comedy like Black Sheep or Tommy Boy. Sure there's some funny parts but overall it's a drama/comedy. And it's actually pretty good.

This was more serious than what I thought I was in for. While I would have preferred something that was pure comedy with a bit of estranged brothers reconciling, this was a good movie that I thought handled mental illness in a very striking and interesting way. I was entertained and really liked the ending.

I didn't know I was about to watch a Canadian film but right there, in the first scene, the talk is about going to Kelowna for an abortion. No American would know where Kelowna is, but I as a Canadian certainly do.
Shot in Revelstoke (the extreme skiing capital of this country), the scenery is fantastic. BTW: if you don't know what province I'm talking about yet (or what a province is), you're not from around here.
It's all about how 2 brothers initially perceive each other, one supposedly a looser and the other supposedly successful, and how that changes as the truths to come out being stuck together. Turns out the successful one has a few downfalls while the looser has many undiscovered strong qualities.
What makes the movie interesting is the successful guy keeps thinking he's right about everything even when he's blatantly proven wrong. The looser takes some big chances that prove to be the right moves like lowering his brother down a cliff. If I were the one being lowered I'd be freaked out too.
In the end, they truly are brothers and not so far off. Worth the watch where only a few have watched.

Toph Pollard (Tyler Labine) is a weed dealer. His brother Cooper (Chace Crawford) is visiting for their mother's wedding. The brothers head up to the family mountain cabin to kick out a squatter. They are both dealing with issues and their resentments bubble up as things get out of hand.
There is a genre switch in the middle. The first half is a rather sparse family comedic drama. Labine tries to do a little comedy. It's a limited indie and then it turns into a survival adventure. That has some fun and thrills. This movie has a little bit of humor and a little bit of adventure. It's a little bit.

This movie was ok, but nothing more than that. I see some rave reviews here and I'm wondering if they're fake. I also see some people saying it's a comedy?? Huhhh. It's definitely not a comedy movie. I don't know what movie they watched.
It's a drama about 2 adult brothers dealing with life problems, family issues, and growing up/maturing into adulthood. They work out their issues, grow and evolve over the course of a weekend in the mountains.
There is some mild action that takes place, but overall not very thrilling. Chace Crawford is pretty to look at, but nothing exciting or romantic happens. And he's bundled up in winter gear the whole movie, so no sexy shirtless scenes either.
Production value was decent. Acting was fine. But overall, this movie was pretty dull to watch. And despite the attractiveness of Chace Crawford... there wasn't much charisma happening either. Neither brother made you want to care about their character.
Overall, it was ok. If you have nothing else to watch or feel like watching something boring then this will due. But definitely nothing thrilling here. I wouldn't watch it a second time, that's for sure.

I think this movie would have played better if it hadn't been classified a Comedy/Drama. It took a while to adjust. But as Dramas go, it wasn't a bad film.
Yes, in this day and age it might be somewhat predictable. But it was a story worth telling. It's a movie with no agenda other than to convey simple messages like; Family is important and even a supposed "loser" like Topher can rise to the occasion when called upon.

Mountain Men (2016) is unfunny and predictable to the point of boringness. This film is so insubstantial that it is hard to talk about. Nothing here is worthy of conversation really. The same exact plot line has been done countless times. There were no moments of suspense or doubt, as every single thing could be seen from a mile away. Both the acting and directing are passable, but the film suffers tremendously from being too cliché. The message that is trying to be portrayed is not only extremely obvious but it is repeatedly shoved down your throat. The consistently flat jokes never seem to get any funnier or even better. 'Mountian Men' is hardly entertaining and is not worth the time spent watching it.

Mountain Men is a dramedy about two estranged brothers who are seeing each other for the first time in three years. One brother, Cooper (Chace Crawford), lives a high-profile life in New York City, while the other brother, Toph (Tyler Labine), is still in the same small town the two grew up in in Canada. While Toph finds out his girlfriend is pregnant, Cooper is dealing with the aftermath of his breakup of his own relationship. When the two of them become stranded in the mountains after an unfortunate incident involving a fire, they must learn to work through their differences and survive the snowy mountains. What follows is a funny and heartwarming story about coming to terms with life and the secrets that come between families.

12/19/2018 New movie description: Two turds drive to snowy mountain cabin, get lost in Antarctica. Director and writer allow them to survive with movie happy ending. Who woulda thunk? Pointless, NEVER funny intended for small minds and other modern day munchkins. Not for sensible, intelligent movie lovers. A 5 star rating is being overly kind. Watch if you must, It's a movie, that about says it all. Bon Appetit

Bought this on Netflix and pleased we did. Well chosen cast played things naturally which, with the restrained unflashy directing, made great use of the atmosphere and amazing location.
Chace Crawford and especially Tyler Lebine do an excellent job of carrying the movie, which is 90% a two hander.
It has some laugh out loud moments which I won't spoil and a nice set up and exploration of family tension. Overall a good movie and one I would recommend.
It also does the Canadian tourist industry no harm, as we want to visit now!

After seeing Mountain Men I felt as though I was put up against the elements to fight for survival. The Director, Cameron Labine, did an amazing job of engrossing the viewer and bringing the film to life. The cinematography was breathtaking and the acting done by Chace Crawford and Tyler Labine was riveting. The way the Canadian Scenery was captured made me feel as though I was in the wilderness. As well due to both actors' performances, the estranged family dynamic was easy to follow and relate. Apart from the drama in the film, a comedic side was also prominent throughout. There was a nice balance of drama and comedy. It had me laughing but also on the edge of my seat. Tyler Labine, known for his comedic roles, adds comedy to the film but also does an amazing job of bringing out a dramatic side, which is not often seen. Overall the film was great and I recommend it to anyone seeking a drama with comedic relief that deals with family struggles and a story of survival.

Watched this on the plane ride back from Toronto. What a surprise! Unique plot, great acting and awesome scenery! Wasn't sure if it would keep me awake on the flight or not, but it sure did (which was a good thing!). Although the plane rated it as comedy/drama, I would have to disagree... drama all the way. Thank goodness for Canadian content! The two main actors did a great job. They remind me of two famous Hollywood actors, I'm sure you'll know who I mean... I mainly came to IMDb to see who the actors were and where it was filmed, but then decided that this film needed another review! I will be sure to watch more of the Canadian films when on my next flight. I encourage you to do the same.

Mountain Men is one of the funniest survival films I've seen to date! Starring Tyler Labine, as Toph, and Chace Crawford, as Cooper, the film blends together a perfect smattering of humor and heartfelt moments. Despite the often quiet, contemplative turns the film takes, I was left in stitches all the way through. In the wake of their father's disappearance, the two brothers embark on an unexpected journey of reconnection. The conclusion of which left me feeling satisfied; the kind of satisfied that reminds me to call my brother and let him know that I love him. Real-life brother and director Cameron Labine did a wonderful job of bring this film to life. The cinematography is breathtaking and perfectly captures the isolation of being lost in the snowy wilderness. The beautiful Canadian outdoors acts as a stunning backdrop to the emotional rapport that builds between the brothers as they come to terms with the loss of their father. Smart, heartfelt, and funny, this film is a much watch!

This movie was so inspirational. It showed the human condition and what even the weakest person can accomplish when their life or a loved ones life is on the line. This movie deserved well earned recognition, a million percent. These 2 men made this movie. They portrayed these roles amazingly.

I probably never would have watched this movie if Chace Crawford wasn't in it. I stumbled across it and because I adore Chace, I had to see it. I was not disappointed. There are a few groan-worthy and eye roll moments. Some say overuse of the F word, but that's one of my favorite words, so I'm ok with it. There are comedic parts, but overall, it's a drama that tugs on your heartstrings. Two brothers, who love each other but have drifted apart. Circumstances pit them together into a tough time. That gets even tougher when there's an accident and the slacker brother suddenly becomes the caregiver. It's a good reminder to remember who your family is and the love you have for them. The banter is witty, but real. Siblings fight and they have underlying resentment. I rooted for these two the entire time. I really loved that minus the beginning and end, it was just the brothers for the whole movie. I recommend it, and I'll definitely watch it again.
