Marty: What the hell's Reinhart Bragdon got to do with anything?
Max: Because that's the guy I killed!

Funny and enjoyable

Daniel Stern was hilarious in BUSHWHACKED. The acting was alright, but I loved the plot, and being a former Boy Scout, I liked that part too. The funniest part was with "The Birds and the Bees" (for those of you who have seen it you know what I mean). I liked how the plot twisted at the end and just thought this was a fun movie. If you're a former or current scout you may like it. So go see it. 7/10
