In this movie (very similar, in atmosphere and personality, to GRIZZLY ADAMS), two modern-day Oregon children are transported back to 1870 via a cave while on a camping trip. There, they help a mountain man named Jeremiah save the mountain from a greedy businessman and his cohorts. The children are compelled to help Jeremiah, because if the mountain is destroyed, so is their hope of returning to the 1990s. The character of Jeremiah is very much like Grizzly Adams: likable and well able to take care of himself in the mountains. The children are well able to handle themselves, and in their efforts to do so, they sometimes try Jeremiah's patience. All in all, it's a good movie. In a way, it's a politically correct movie: the theme is that it's wrong to develop mountains or any other wild areas for business purposes. Political correctness aside, I give this movie a thumbs-up for family quality. And but for one swear word, used once, I would rate it G.

Dan Haggerty shot to instant stardom in the late 1970's with his tough-yet-compassionate mountain man persona in the CBS TV Series "Grizzly Adams." I think many of us wish that they made shows like this one again. Meanwhile, if you want a taste of enjoyable, family-friendly adventure, journey with two "modern kids" who are transported back in time through a magical cave to the land of yesteryear and the wild, wild west of Grizzy Mountain. Really lots of fun!

This movie would definitely not be recommended for any academy awards--and that's why I give it only 4 stars. But, this is good family entertainment, especially if you have young kids. It's a kind of adventure that children fantasize about. Even though the acting wasn't top notch, the story was fun, and I believe it is a good movie to watch if you have elementary school age children. There's a decent message in good old fashioned childrens adventure story.

A movie the whole family can enjoy. My little sister loves this movie. And it teaches you some important lessons.

Dan Haggerty was the best actor in that movie and did a good job acting in it. On the other hand it was poorly written and the rest of the actors and actresses in the movie did a terrible job. It made no sense at all. Some lousy acting kids got mysteriously sent back in time to save a mountain from being blown into pieces. It's funny how the kids were trying to save the mountain from being blown when it already existed in the 20th century. Then the writer made a lousy attempt to make the movie funny by making the kids have all sorts of gadgets and gizmos from the future. It could have been a great movie with Dan Haggerty since I thought some of his earlier movies were great, but the plot was terrible and the "kids from the future" made it even worse.

I think Dan Hagerty is one of the worst actors I have ever seen he was even bad at acting in his show Grizzly Adams but when you compare that to Grizzly Mountain Grizzly Adams seems like an award winner. I think Grizzly Mountain is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

This movie is in no way related to Grizzly Adams. My family and I were greatly disappointed. A mere three billion thumbs up.

I never thought Dan Haggerty could act . . . now I know for sure! And he was the best on in the entire cast of so-called actors.

Sure the story has a politically correct message, but the challenge is sticking with it to the end. This poorly written, poorly acted, low budget affair would have been a total waste of time except for some great scenery. Save your money.
