Dan vs. Nature

(4) YA Dan is blindsided when his mom announces her engagement to the too-perfect Hank and sends the pair out on a wilderness survival trip to bond. Determined to prove Hank unfit for his mother, Dan plans several pranks that backfire spectacularly. South Park levels of gross-out humor mesh awkwardly with Dan's genuine fears and sadness about gaining a stepfather.
