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!
... View MoreMy all time favorite movie! This coming of age movie is about 3 friends that venture into the deep woods of Oregon out of respect of their deceased friend and their dreams of finding D.B. Cooper's Treasure. After many years apart from each other, they find that no challenge is too big as the power of friendship prevails. Dax Sheppard, Tom, is probably my favorite of the movie as his sarcastic comedy is right up my alley. I have seen this movie maybe 20+ times and never gets boring because it reminds me that even though the pressures of life seems overbearing at times, spending time with the ones closest to you is the greatest way of bringing you back down to earth. Bet you 100 grand and a left nut you will not be disappointed!! :DD
... View More"Without a Paddle" (2004) is a comedy/adventure about three old friends who fulfill a childhood pact by venturing into the Northwest wilderness to solve the mystery of D.B. Cooper, an unidentified man who hijacked an airplane in 1971 and parachuted out with a large sum of money. Will they solve the mystery? Will they even get back alive? I remember seeing the trailer at the time and was really excited about seeing this film because I love lost-in-the-woods type adventures, but I was somewhat disappointed. I've seen it twice since then and liked it better than my first viewing, but it's still far from great. It's basically just a fun adventure flick with various lost-in-the-woods shenanigans.It starts off pretty good and gets lame in the mid-section, but the final act is decent. I appreciated the camaraderie of the three friends (Seth Green, Matthew Lillard and Dax Shepard), the hip soundtrack, the excellent guest appearance of Burt Reynolds and the awesome New Zealand locations. The two hippie chicks in the woods aren't anything to get too excited about, but that's a matter of taste. It's worth checking out if you like adventure-in-the-woods flicks.The film runs 95 minutes.GRADE: C+ (almost B-)
... View MoreI'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!
