kyle41486 My best friends and I watched this in high school, although we live in different places in the country now we still refer to the movie all the time and when we can get together, it's just like the movie in the way we are catching up, doing stupid stuff, and laughing. Love this movie!
Calvin Hobbs (A little bit of a spoiler...) Without a Paddle makes a great comedy film!The three friends (Seth Green, Dax Shepard, and Mathew Lillard) are great picks. They start off as childhood friends and are brought together by the death of the fourth friend, Billy in an accident. That is when they stumble upon Billy's secret plans to look for the hidden money of D.B. Coooper (Dan Cooper) My favorite part of the movie is when they are nearly naked in the cave and the song bump n grind starts to play. When they start talking about the hippie chicks and Seth Green pitches a tent I laughed so hard! Some people may not like this movie, but dude, I think it is one of the best adventure movies ever! It goes along with City Slickers, and a lot of other comedic adventures with friends. I definitely think it was worth watching. Hilarious!
Mr EGJ I've seen this movie like 3 years ago, and it was on TV a week ago. I watched it again and i had to laugh equally loud as i did the first time.This movie has every ingredient a good Road-Trip movie should have.A adventure; seeking the long lost treasure of DB Cooper, hot chicks, redneck weedgrowing hillbillies, a protective bear, and the best of all are the 3 main characters. A superb casting score for this movie. The main characters are all very different in personalities big together they form a great bond. The scene in the burning weed field is one of the best ever! At a sidenote: there a many sidereferences to the starwars trilogie (the old one) I would recommend this movie to anyone who is in for an adventure of a lifetime and a evening full of laughs! Great great great movie!
ma-cortes The film talks about a trio friends(Seth Green,Dax Shepard,Matthew Lillard),later the death a childhood's friend ,they propose the making a hick by canoe into woods of Oregon territory.Their aim is the looking for of D.B Cooper bounty for carrying out the promise they made when were little boys .Cooper was a mythic high-jacker(nowadays famous by character played by Muse Watson in ¨Prison Break¨)who jumped from the airplane(1971) and parachuted,disappearing posteriorly,although his bounty was partially found.The misfit group fulfill a canoeing along the Columbia river where find numerous risks,rapid streams,waterfalls and get worse, besides in the surface encounters dangerous animals like a bear and a drug-cultivating rednecks.But also they know a beautiful girls(Rachel Blanchard and Christina Moore) living on a tree and an older mountain man(Burt Reynolds).The picture mingles comedy,adventures,action,cynical sense of humor and is pretty bemusing.It's a crossover among ¨Deliverance¨even with the presence of Burt Reynolds and ¨City slickers¨as a Philadelphia young people who are going to countryside excursion.The movie displays several ingredients for the entertaining as glimmer outdoors,stirring canoeing,sexy-girls and thrilling pursuits.The humor is intelligent and bold though sometimes is gross-out.Most of the laughters and sight gags galore work acceptably,especially the jokes between the three friends,as when they flee of the dangerous rednecks and dropped underwater or when the damp trio sleep gather together.Wonderful landscapes are splendidly reflected by the cameraman Jonathan Brown and appropriate musical score by Christophe Beck.The motion picture is professionally directed by Steven Brill. Rating : Passable and amusing.
