I am a 5th grade teacher, and my children loved this movie. We watched it to go along with the book Hatchet. It is very interesting and has nothing that any parents will object to having their kids watch.

Over all I would recommend A Cry in the Wild 2 for family viewing. While there are a lot of holes in the story, it has an 80's feel with the clothing and hair styles (offputting to preteens and teenagers) and some lame special effects it does have some wonderful scenery, good storyline and a strong message about taking on responsiblity and challenges. There is a brief reference to a plane crash that leads one to believe this is a sequel to Hatchet (or A Cry in the Wild 1 based on Hatchet). Kid's who have read Hatchet will enjoy that connection.

This is an amazing movie for people of all ages. It is a compelling and well acted movie. The scenery is breath taking, and that alone is a good enough reason to get this movie. I saw it when I was younger, and I still watch it to this day. It is a tale that stands the test of time.

When I was about 11 my mom bought this movie on VHS from a Christian/Family based movie salesperson that came to our door. This is one of the worst acted movies I have ever seen. However... that makes it entirely worth watching. It is hysterical. I'm particularly fond of the performances from the actors playing Kara and Jake's Girlfriend. They are AWFUL. I have seen this movie no less than 50 times and it just keeps getting funnier every time. I know that this wasn't the intent, yet now as a 26 year old I still have a special place in my heart for this flick. Watch it once just to see the creepy actress playing Jake's girlfriend delivering the line, "There they are," from a rescue helicopter. Easily the worst acting in cinematic history. I need to invest in a DVD copy since my tape is worn out. Happy Laughing!

There's a film out there that combines teen themes with the white-knuckle adventure of a life-and-death struggle in the wilderness, that augments great acting with a brilliant script and top-notch production values. "White Wolves - Cry in the Wild II" is not that film. Instead, it's a poorly assembled movie that is most notable for its baffling scenes and characterizations - some that will make you scratch your head and others that will make you burst out laughing.

White Wolves starts innocently enough, with a crew of rowdy teens embarking on a camping trip with woodsman and role model Mr. B (Matt McCoy) as their guide. But after some mountaintop horseplay goes awry, Mr. B falls approximately twenty thousand feet to the ground below, crashing through trees and caroming off of boulders on his way down -- and somehow survives. Believe me when I say that this is easily the funniest plummet I have seen in a film since Sly lost his grip on that girl in "Cliffhanger".

The teens have to rescue Mr. B, and each has his or her own style, which leads to frequent clashes. Scott (Zach Morris) is an authoritarian thug who almost murders dweeby Adam (David Moscow) in a rage. Cara (Amy Dolenz) is distraught when Mr. B's accident seriously cuts into her flirting schedule. Benny (Marc Riffon) is a malcontent delinquent who can hardly function without his father figure. And Pandra (Amy O'Neill) is the weirdest one of all, as demonstrated by a "romantic" scene in which she and Adam confess their attraction to each other. It's quite possibly one of the strangest moments of teen love ever captured on film.

Just when you think this movie can't get any more weirdly, bizarrely entertaining, with ghostly white wolves appearing and disappearing and Mark-Paul Gosselaar ranting and raving, the kids get attacked by a BEAR!! You need to watch this scene in slow motion, which is where its fakeness and sheer absurdity really shines through.

"White Wolves - Cry in the Wild II" is so bad it's good, and by that I mean it's awesome.

For people who enjoy outdoors movies, this one is good. It shows how five teens (including "Saved by the Bell" Mark-Paul Gossalaar) deal with an accident that happens to there trail leader, and how they have to make it on there own with the help of one special white wolf.

A Two Week Camping Trip through The Mountains Tests The Maturity And Concentration Of Five Teens...At First, It's All A Good Time, White Water Rafting, Hiking, And Making New Friends...But When Their Leader Falls Over A Cliff, His Students Must Pull Together And Rescue Him...Very Predictable Film About Teens Learning To Understand Each Other And Challenge Mother Nature's Stakes...Starring: Ami Dolenz (Miracle Beach, Virtual Seduction) Mark Paul Gosselaar (Saved By The Bell) Matt McCoy (Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Police Acadamey)

What a great film it never gets boring....

Great acting all the way around!

I saw one of the White Wolf films and you could say fell in love with the movies, than I saw this film Cry in the Wild 2 and it was excellent from star to finish. I love types of movies where people have to work together to pull through. Each actor did their character well enough to believe in them and although some scenes are just okay, it pulls through at the end. If you love wolves and teens working together to overcome nature's obstacles than this movie is for you!
