All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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!

'Without a Paddle' is a Very Entertaining film, that's hilarious & largely engaging. Its a fun-loving tale about friendship & adventure!'Without a Paddle' Synopsis: After their friend dies, three men decide to fulfill their childhood promise by going on a camping expedition for the lost D.B. Cooper bounty, with calamitous results.'Without a Paddle' works wonders as an entertainer. No, its not a masterpiece, but while watching it, I wasn't bored for a single minute. The protagonists journey & the adventure they embark on, is full of humorous & over-the-top moments. Luckily, most of it works.Jay Leggett & Mitch Rouse's Screenplay is first-class, in terms of humor & wit. Steven Brill's Direction is competent. Cinematography captures the wilderness, accurately. Editing is pretty good.Performance-Wise: Seth Green, Matthew Lillard & Dax Shepard are in top-form, enacting the likable leading-men with terrific energy. Burt Reynolds is fabulous in a cameo. The actors who enact the villains, are very good.On the whole, 'Without a Paddle' deserves a genuine Thumbs Up!

(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!

Rating : Passable and amusing.
