Misleading Title - Beware!
This DVD is not the movie version of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It has nothing to do with Brian Robeson and his survival adventure in the Canadian wilderness. It appears that Amazon is intentionally misleading people looking for the motion picture adaption of Paulsen's incredibly popular novel. "A Cry in the Wild" is the title of the Hatchet movie. This one is entitled "Cry in the Wild."

cry in the wild
This movie is not what we thought we were getting. this movie is not showing a picture when you order. It is not about the young boy surviving in the wilderness!!!

Amazon erred and blamed me
As an educator i was attempting to purchase A cry in the Wild - a movie version of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet to show to my students. I clicked on an icon that showed the cover of this DVD( erroneously placed on the web) but due to an error by Amazon's subsidiary was sent a movie about a murder in the 60s instead. When I notified Amazon via phone about the problem the customer service reps repeatedly blamed me and stated there was nothing they could do. I spent 35 minutes on the phone and was finally offered a return sticker which 3 weeks hence has yet to arrive. I am quite dissatified with ths encounter and will be reluctant to purchase from AMazon in the future.
