January 1, 2012This is one of those comedies that though not perfect, are still very entertaining and fun. Though it isn't a perfect film, Without a Paddle is a fun, comedy that has plenty of things to offer. This is overall a mindless comedy that anyone can enjoy. Not excellent by any means, b... read more

December 24, 2011I guess it's The Hangover in a completely different setting. You have Seth Green playing a doctor "the smart guy", a chilled and relaxed, rebellious guy and a not so smart, unusual guy. They are all man child characters in this very uniquely made comedy and I think it had more th... read more

January 20, 2010A watchable comedy, perhaps one that the children will like more than adults, although a little adult humour in it too.

September 30, 2009Not as bad as I thought it would be. It?s a cross between the Goonies and Deliverance. It?s alright. A few absolute gems in the script upped my rating for this film though!

September 26, 2009A pretty decent comedy with 3 strong actors in the main parts. Quite funny as 3 city boys look to embark on one of their childhood adventure ideas, setting off on a river trip that goes from bad to worse.

How do you siphon the laffs from a surefire gut-busting premise like city slickers stuck in the sticks? ... you assemble a cut-rate Three Stooges, inject tired '80s nostalgia and some moralistic goo a... Full Review

Think Road Trip meets City Slickers. Then dial the humor down a few notches, and you're left Without a Paddle. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Forget being up a raging creek without a paddle, these poor losers are lost in a wilderness that permits no comedy. Full Review

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
The first half of the film is enjoyable but hit and miss. After that, it's just miss. Full Review

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
This is the kind of comedy in which the aim is to make the audience cringe. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
Some tales center on man vs. nature, others on man vs. man. Without a Paddle falls within a third category: man vs. poorly conceived script. Full Review

Never rises above the level of harmless video fare.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
There are a few gross-out laughs, but Without a Paddle's gang-written script doesn't know what it wants to be. Full Review
