A spin-off to the immensely enjoyable Without a Paddle, 'Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling' is a harmless film, although in totality, its strictly an okay fare. 'Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling' Synopsis: Two best friends, along with a crazy Briton, embark on a journey in the woods to find a missing childhood crush. 'Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling' is best enjoyed if you willing to watch a film, where silliness plays a major aspect. I mean, its all harmless & in good nature, but its never smart or remotely engrossing. But, I wasn't bored & that pretty much did it for me. The Screenplay is funny, but only in selected parts. The Direction is fair. Cinematography has captured the wilderness, very nicely. Editing needed more sharpness. And even though all the actors on board try to deliver, they never match above the given material.On the whole, 'Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling' is just about passable. Keep a check on your expectations & you won't really complain.

My little sister accidentally rented this movie thinking it would be as funny as the original Without a Paddle film. However, its only use is as a Frisbee, and even then it doesn't fly straight. Avoid. The acting was abysmal, a total joke to be honest. The plot was non- existent, and the movie was simply made up of lame joke after lame, stinking joke. Oliver James used to be good, in 'What a Girl Wants,' he is a half decent actor and is rather hot too, but this film is simply a great disappointment if you were watching it only for him. And really, that seems like the only reason anyone would watch this movie, because honestly, you would be better off cleaning the bathroom or writing a ten-page essay as this would be both more entertaining, and a better use of your time. Sure, if you're bored out of your mind, it is vaguely possible you might gain some slight entertainment value from this film, but you would have to be an immensely sad, lame-humoured person for such an impossibility to occur.

Even a bad comedy can be good sometimes. Not this one though - not even close.Terrible story, terrible cinematography, terrible continuity, terrible casting. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.Oh - and please - was there not one Canadian any where near the shooting of this film to teach the director that Canadians do not talk as though they were portrayed in this movie. The use of the sound "eh" and the 'sayings' (like "Holy Halifax") were contrived and - well, okay, I'm going to use a bad word: stupid. It was so annoying and so ridiculous, it was hard to even get close to the end without eye rolling and chucking popcorn at the screen. Is it really so challenging to portray a Canadian? After all, we are America's closest and largest neighbour and have thousands of Canadians working in Hollywood alone. This wasn't funny, it was lazy writing and unacceptable.I'll be sure to avoid anything with these actors and directors in the future.

While the first movie wasn't all that entertaining - it was passable, this doesn't come close to it what-so ever.Dialoge is poor, setting is not to full effect, story is lame, casting is all wrong, nothing in this is memorable.The squirrel sequence is just retarded and it's subplots are just as stupid.I saw this free and was glad that I didn't pay for it.It saved me the cost of a rental, but regardless is was still lifeless and bring.Not even the two eco-chicks were from the first movie - which I guess is a good thing...Who thought of this story as something to produce is severely looking to get fired.Soundtrack didn't offer anything either.If you liked the first Without A Paddle, you should leave it at that and forget about this one, because you will enjoy this.Nothing really works in this. It's just a mess of sub-stories that were mishmash-ed together to put together a sub par script that is not funny or entertaining.There is a reason that this went straight to video...because it would not have lasted 2 weeks in a theater.It's poorly developed - even the sound nature effects are over done.The continuity is atrociously horrible as is the timing and looping.Save your money, save your time...go to sleep instead.
