Very Entertaining!

'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!
