Reviews

"You're better off with "Meerkat Manor"...—Chicago Tribune¹

""Life Is Wild" is really more "Life Is Sucky" -- at least at the outset."—Hollywood Reporter²

"While the setup may seem familiar - blended family trying to make it - the setting is anything but. It's actually filmed in the Glen Afric wildlife reserve, which means the screen is filled with gorgeous views, spectacular wild animals and some very good, sometimes gorgeous wildlife and wild kingdom cinematography."—New York Post³

Quotes

"Miss New York is going to learn how we do things "South African style."—Lauren⁴
