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.

madsen_holly I loved this movie. The actors were great and this is not a continuation of the last movie, it simply is just a movie that is supposed to have a similar story line. I cant get enough of it. It is the perfect blend of humor, adventure, comedy and romance. They have selected the best actors for this role because they all seem to play off of each other bringing out the best in each of them. I think its amazing that Oliver James is able to hide his accent so well, it shows that he has talent and is willing to expand his skills. A person watching this should view it as a completely new movie enjoying the humor and the beauty of nature.

lilchele_08 I have to admit, I did not like the original Without a Paddle movie. I watched it with my brother and our friends, and I just wasn't impressed. I'm not a Seth Green fan, really. Anyway - I saw the commercial for this, and I just had to watch it. I absolutely adore Kristopher Turner and Oliver James, and seeing them together? Sounded great! I laughed a lot, it was good to see Oliver away from chick flicks and Kristopher away from Instant Star. If you're expecting a remake or something building upon the original, you're going to be disappointed, but if you go into this looking for a laugh, you're going to get it. It's not going to be named movie of the year, but it's certainly not a waste of time or money.

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.
