Overview

Mountain Men is a comedy/drama that follows two estranged brothers, Toph and Cooper, as they journey to a remote family cabin in the mountains to evict a squatter. Buried resentment and bruised egos soon derail the plan and when the smoke clears they've destroyed their car and burned down the cabin, leaving them stranded in the cold Rocky Mountain winter. With their very survival at stake, they must learn to work together as brothers to get back to civilization.

While some of the interpersonal revelations and inner character struggle feel decidedly familiar, treading the waters of the male coming-of-age tale, the setting is novel and the added dramatics of their adventure freshen the story.

Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

There are three good laughs in "Mountain Men" and two modestly dramatic sections. That averages out to a decent moment every 18 minutes.

Ken Jaworowski, New York Times
Rotten

Though Topher forges ahead bravely, it's all too clear that he's headed toward an underwhelming conclusion.

Abby Garnett, Village Voice

Mountain Men delivers big heart, some big laughs and authentic character development observed through sharp, but always natural, dialogue.

Marsha Lederman, Globe and Mail

The script has plenty of salty language and dialogue that rings authentic. The story is well-constructed with a conclusion that will leave you smiling. And the scenery in and around Revelstoke, B.C. is awesome.

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
