Jason Virga Just because this movie is a little different and doesn't pander to contemporary American sensibilities, doesn't mean it's horrible or has a bad script. Like I said it is a little different and vulgar at times. But it is entertaining and Patton Oswalt holds it together very nicely.Johnny Knocksville & Ron Riggle are at first hard to handle but I thought they were funny and a good addition to the story.It actually has a some very good messages about respecting nature and remembering to sometimes forget about modern technologies and to go have fun outside.Stop hating on this movie!!
Joshua Hansell I'm nearly convinced this was some sort of meta piece. Writer/Director Todd Rohal is either playing a huge joke on everyone by writing such a bad and structurally inefficient script, or it's just that bad. I'm sure of the former.To start, it feels like three different movies were written and made. Then they were somehow carefully edited into one single film. Nothing feels natural about how the movie moves from point to point. Oswalt seems to exist almost outside of the movie itself. It was a Disney kids movie at points, and really felt like it. Other moments it felt a Hangover type (Rob Riggle was uncomfortably out of place in this, but hysterical non-the-less). There was even a very dark "Apocalypse Now" moment, complete with strange religious elements and all. Then some of the elements slowly meshed into a very strange cavalcade of dark humor.There was literally a scene with two different scores going on at the same time. One is the 90's campy "going on vacation" family pace. The other is somewhat Wagner. Neither score correctly matched the tone of the scene.I'm still not sure what the hell I watched. I'm convinced this needs to be a cult classic, at least on some post-modern level. The fact that Patton Oswalt is even involved means that someone did this on purpose.Then there was the naked chick on the motorcycle. It's almost as if the writer thought to himself, what's the most out of place thing I can put in a kids movie at the most illogical time in the movie?
anthonybevilacqua77 People seem to be avoiding Nature Calls like the plague, but trust me, it's harmless. Speaking from personal experience, there are at least a handful of significant belly laughs throughout, and the film only clocks in at a breezy 79 minutes in total. Was it high art? No, but it definitely has an audience in mind, and it is certainly not without it's charm. The best way I could convey this amusing little flick to others is to tell people that it is kind of like Moonrise Kingdom meets The Bad News Bears meets something else entirely. I am not a huge Patton Oswalt fan but he was completely tolerable and even somewhat likable here. That being said, he is still no Johnny Knoxville. Whether you enjoyed Jackass or not, the man is a national treasure, and yes, frequently hilarious. While Oswalt was good, Knoxville obviously brought his comedic A game to the table. He was goofy, energetic, and surprisingly human at times. There is a moment in the film when he is tied to a cross and that alone is worth at least the price of a rental. Simply put, if all of these reasons are not enough for you to take a chance on this quirky, agenda-less screwball indie than all I have to say is this...THERE IS A CHARACTER IN THIS FILM THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A NAKED WOMEN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE THROUGH THE WOODS. BOOM!
stiinz While I didn't have high hopes for Nature Calls to begin with, it went above and beyond to prove me wrong. It was even worse than I ever could have imagined and, as per the summary of this review, is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I get that you can make a low brow comedy flick. In fact, I don't mind them. That's what I expected from this. But to call it a comedy would be a flat out lie. There was no redeeming humor in the film at all, not a single laugh. The plot and story were incoherent, the characters were undeveloped and horrible, the actors (as one critic put it) phoned it in, and the editing was atrocious. The entire thing made no sense - it wasn't even so bad it was good. It was just bad. If you want a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th opinion read any of the other critic reviews. Just whatever you do - do NOT watch this movie. I don't usually write reviews, but if I can't get my 90 minutes back at least I can save yours.
