_jr_ Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yesterday evening (Friday), I took my kids and my niece,ages 9,9,& 10, to see Without a Paddle. I was supposed to take them to see Princess Diaries II, but they changed their minds. (whew. the things a parents does for their kids). Anyway, I have to tell you folks, I laughed right out loud throughout the movie. There is one scene with a bear that I actually laughed so hard I had tears. Without giving away too much of the movie, the three main characters go on a canoe trip in search of D.B.Cooper's lost money, and run into a handful of characters along the way. (including the bear) If you forget about the thin premise and a few far-fetched events, and accept it for what it is, you'll enjoy this movie. And the soundtrack is sparse, but enjoyable. The few songs in the movie are well placed and enrich the scene. During the credits, as we were walking out,a cover of Ram Jam's 'Black Betty' was being played. I wish I had hung around to see who was playing it, but the kids were in a hurry to get to the video games. Geez, I'm such an easy touch. Anyway, back to the movie, I'd give it 2 1/2 stars. There is some light swearing, and a few adult references, but nothing to get in a twist over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instant Karma Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I did like the movie...I was afraid because the newspaper gave it one star. But I thought it was great. I also thought I might be biased because I loooove Seth Green...Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I saw it, and thought it was hillarious. Not to give any important 'plot points' :: away, but the 'weed field' part was soooo freakin' funny. "Woah........ Matrix" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
