MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

andrewskirk213 The first movie was actually good. I'm surprised i could sit through this one. I saw it on tbs because i would never rent this movie. The first movie was about the bond between three best friends: the uptight one, the lazy low life, and the median in between them. Also it had three great actors playing the main characters. And who doesn't love Ethan Suplee? This movie was just more like a American Pie movie without nudity. And the humor is much more crude and tasteless. At least the first one had a real bear. The squirrels look not a bit real. The only good part of this movie was Rik Young. The story itself was stupid and unbelievable. And the main character didn't even get the girl.

chellethecat-1 I'll be the first to admit, I'm VERY tolerant when it comes to movies. I will watch almost anything at least once. This movie was no exception, and after the first movie (which I have to admit I liked) I figured there was no harm in watching this one.I almost never say this... but, I wish I'd turned the channel. Seriously, that is saying a LOT for me. I willingly sit through movies that most people cannot stand. I knew from the start that this was not actually a sequel to the second as far as characters and events; but rather of concept and idea. I have no problem with that. My problem is, the things that made the first movie endearing to me (a halfway decent script, fairly likable characters, and a nice good feeling at the end) were completely missing from this one. Add in goofy CGI squirrels (such things have a proper time and place people, come on!) and it was bordering on unwatchable.I will say, you just cannot blame this on the actors, because that part wasn't bad - the material they had to work WITH was the problem. This movie started off on the wrong foot with a shaky script. And the actors are really the only reason I've rated this even as high as I have.

Nick Damian 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.

Movie Buff When I heard a a sequel had been made to "Without a Paddle," I was kind of excited. Dax, Matt Lillard & Seth Green were pretty fun in the first movie, so I expected a decent flick. With a cast of relative no names, this movie seems to be a more straight to DVD type of movie. The biggest name had to be Hall of fame football player Jerry Rice, playing crazy woodsman "Hal Gore." Two lifelong friends (a laid back nurse and a stressed lawyer) and a Limey-Brit must take raft down river, in search of a beautiful hippie girl, who lives deep in the Oregon woods. Adventures unfold with white rapids, crazy squirrels and angry mobsters making things tough on the guys.All in all, the movie is pretty entertaining throughout. Very simple and kind of silly plot, with a fair amount of laughs. This is a movie that kids will enjoy a lot more than adults and overall I found the first movie in this series to be better than this one.
