Without a Paddle? Anyone seen it?

I think these actors are very funny. Has anyone seen this movie? Trying to decide if I want to buy or rent.

I had very low expectations for this one, but I did find myself laughing a number of times. Dumb, juvenile, but surprisingly enjoyable. Not sure if it has much replay value, but certainly worth a rental.

Nice transfer, too.


Here's my full review, if you're bored...

The movie wasn't bad, but it's nothing to write home about. Definitely rental material. If you've seen the trailer, then you've probably seen most of the jokes.

I saw it in theaters. I'm renting it from Netflix, but am not going to buy it unless it's under $10.

As D-Ball said, it wasn't the funniest movie I've ever seen, but worth renting.

Saw it on a plane Monday. It was certainly better than I expected, but it's say that it's a rental. Unfortunately, there was a large focus on two very unfunny peripheral characters for much of the second half that just got annoying.

Would not be a movie you could see more than once.

Go rent Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle instead. There's parts in that film so funny and clever, you'll nearly have an *accident*....it's raunchier, yes, so don't rent/buy unless you're down for Old School or There's Something About Mary type of humor....
