Absolutely Fantastic

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I really thought without a paddle was funny.its one of those movies i can see 100 times and don't get tired of it. i liked the cast and comedy they combine action and comedy which is a type of movie i want to see. some of the comedy was cheap but really good.i didn't see the movie until a few years after it came out and i thought "what have i been missing out on" its not exactly a family film but still OK for older audiences. the ending to that movie was great because it showed they had a good future ahead of them. Tom (Dax Shepard) was my favorite character. he really made me laugh. his sense of humor never brought the movie down.I loved it.

This movie is so refreshing. There are too many movies full of violence, guns, high tech special effects. Sometimes, a gentle movie such as this one is very fresh.In real life, how often do you see guys hanging out in the wild just to have fun, so many males in the US are afraid that others might call them gay if they hang out together too frequently.At first, I was really impressed by the natural beauty of Oregon, but it was actually shot in New Zealand. The blue river, the green mountain, the fresh air, I wish that I can live in a place like that.Seth green is adorable, I don't know how old he is, but he is like a big kid in this movie, his acting looks natural and naive which made his jokes even funnier.I wish that I can have a fun adventure with those guys in the wild, that would be so unforgettable!

Without a Paddle (2004, Dir. Steven Brill) Three friends, whose lives have been drifting apart, reunite for the funeral of a fourth childhood friend. When looking through their childhood belonging, they discover a trunk which contained details on a quest their friend was attempting. It revealed that he was hot on the trail of the $200,000 that went missing with airplane hijacker D.B. Cooper in 1971. They decide to continue his journey, but do not understand the dangers they will soon encounter.Although the cast listing of 'Without a Paddle' is small, it's still got three great comedy stars leading it. But, this still doesn't give it top marks for best film. The story has a lot of heart, and you really feel as if all four friends have known each other for years. Placing them into the forest, also have some great comedy settings, but the script isn't full of many laugh out loud moments. There are some highlights which are a pleasure, but most of the time, it seems as if a joke is missing. Still, it is not very long and will still make a good movie to watch on a wet day."Help me." - Dan Mott (Seth Green)

As children they were the best of friends so when Billy passes away a decade or so later, friends Dan, Jerry and Tom come together to attend his funeral. In doing so they revisit the tree house of their childhood and discover that Billy had added to the childhood plan of tracking the urban myth of DB Cooper and his stolen loot lost in the woods. Realising that Billy must have tracked it down for real, the trio set out on a treasure hunt down river partly to get paid and partly as a tribute to their dead friend. However things go seriously wrong very quickly.A very basic comedy this one that is a fairly obvious affair that will not avoid taking an easy short cut when it can. This is clear from the start where we see the death of a young man turned into a plot device to get the rest on a treasure hunt. From here on in the humour comes from events that you would mostly pluck out of the air as happening if you imagined how the scenario would play out – chased by hillbillies, chased by a bear, learning valuable life lessons and so on. The total package is as basic as this makes it sound but it just enough has enough to make it watchable if totally forgettable.It isn't ever really funny but it is amusing if you are in the mood in the way that crappy sitcoms will hit the spot if you are tired and just looking for a rest for your brain. The casting matches the approach of the writers as none of the cast are that good. In fairness this type of film suits Lillard, Shepard and Green because they all are able to turn in basic characters without much effort or subtlety. They work well off one another though despite everything. Suplee is a nice find in a slightly meaner version of his My Name is Earl character but Reynolds is a valueless cameo.Overall then an amusing but mostly basic comedy that will offers little more than the obvious and predictable in every regard.
