Young, self-absorbed attorney Matt Fleming (Jason London) is sent out of the city and into the woods by his mother, who is worried over the welfare of Matt's crusty, eccentric nature-loving grandfather Jack (Ed Asner). Not surprisingly, Matt is in for quite a culture shock. Not only does Jack do without any modern conveniences, but he also enjoys wandering in the great outdoors completely naked. Even worse -- at least as far as Matt is concerned -- Jack has spent the entire family fortune on a patch of land that he intends to donate to a local Native American child. In trying to curb Jack's enthusiasm and control the old man's behavior, Matt instead ends up learning about how to fend for himself in the wilderness, a skill that comes in very handy during a serious mid-film crisis. Matt also applies what he has learned from Jack in his efforts to make a lasting commitment to his own girlfriend Linda (Meredith Salenger). Produced for cable's Hallmark Channel, Out of the Woods debuted April 2, 2005.

at last a movie that does not involve guns nor war nor sex - give me more movies with relationship between men - this movie was between grandpa and grandson - the grandpa took an interest in helping the grandson to mature and learn from life - I have seen it twice and have not loss interest in seeing it again - worth the money and time

I felt this was an important movie for families and young people who think there is only one way to live and be successful. When you follow the deepest part of the heart, a person can find success and happinest so rewarding that you really feel alive. Happiness and sucess is not about money alone. Ed Asner was gruff and often cruel, but sometimes that is what it takes to move us out of our comfort zone. Its a great story that reminds people they can always make another choice.

A nice movie about a old man and his family, and fairly decent script. Ed Asner makes the thing believable.

This was a wonderful lesson in the way people should resolve their differences as well as respecting the dignity of others. When the "crazy" father/grandfather was discovered to be purchasing a large amount of land, the first thing that entered the heads of his daughter, her husband and his grandson Matt was the loss of their inheritance. After being stranded with his grandfather, Matt advnetageously discovers a whole different way of life, free of the stress of the life as a lawyer he has come to accept as normal.

This film made my mind review some of the interactions in my own family - I think we need to stop and look at things from the other guys point of view from time to time and just let them handle things in their own way. This is perhaps the hardes cut of all - Asner was great in this film - well worth watching.

This is an amazing movie, very touching and emotional, and something I think all of us can relate to on some level. Highly recommended, and well worth three times the selling price. This movie was shown on the Hallmark channel when I first saw it.

This was a rally good movie with a great meaning behind it. Ed Asner of Mary Tyler Moore fame played a grandpa dying of cancer. His grandson is to try to get him to sign papers so his mother could have the old man's property and put the old man away. As the film unfolds you learn quite a few lessons in love and understanding. It's really good. I loved it and the price was a good one.

It was a wonderful movie. I love Ed Asner. I am glad that there are still great movies written out there for fine actors that we have grown up with. The story shows that the wisdom of the "old ways" have so much more to give us than the way the world is today. There are so many movies that only entertain at best but you don't really have anything to walk away from them with. This was a beautiful movie, funny and very family friendly. We will watch it again.

I think all movies on Hallmarkare heart warming, I nrver get tired off watchinh them.
