Even worse — at least as far as Matt is concerned — Jack has spent the entire family fortune on a patch of land that he intends to donate to a local Native American child. In trying to curb Jack’s enthusiasm and control the old man’s behavior, Matt instead ends up learning about how to fend for himself in the wilderness, a skill that comes in very handy during a serious mid-film crisis.
