While Kevin Bacon and Sean Astin did a decent job with the material they were given, this film about five guys in the wilderness doesn't feature a lot of intricate acting. There's some nice cinematography in it, and if you don't mind a predictable plot it's rather mindless fair. Astin plays the stereotypical kid who doesn't want to be in the woods and breaks all the rules set by Bacon. Later the roles are reversed, and they both wind up learning something. Best part was probably the slow pan of Kevin Bacon when he was doing his tai-chi.
