Kyle Smith New York Post A low-watt, low-wit comedy. Rated: 1/4 Nov 9, 2012 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times It almost seems like harder work somehow to get this many comedians together and then turn out a movie that is only so fitfully funny. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 8, 2012 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Its jokes won't appeal to anyone older than 8, but a parent who takes a child to this crass mess would be subject to prosecution. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 8, 2012 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Nature Calls eventually becomes something of an ordeal to sit through... Rated: 2/4 Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Forgettable, raunchy scouting comedy isn't for young kids. Rated: 1/5 Nov 28, 2012 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... squanders its cast amid a collection of lackluster gags. Nov 22, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Patrick F I had higher hopes for this movie considering the cast. It had a few laughs hear and there, but it was generally an unfunny mess. There no character development and actual story arc. It was just a serious of bits. A few laughs, but I debated not finishing the movie while watch. Overall very disappointing.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, how can one sum up a masterpiece such as "Nature Calls". You simply cannot, but you can give this movie the time of day. The casual nature of how the adult cast uses the word F-ck...wow just wow. It's done so effortlessly around the kid cast it really is truly a break through in cinema. Patton you truly did it you madman. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I found this movie to be okay it had its funny moments Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member To all you Patton Oswalt and Johnny Knoxville fans out there, this outdoors adventure movie will have you laughing. For those rainy days, a good scouts themed movie will brighten the day, sure it's rated R due to the language and a certain nude woman riding a motorcycle but she's only in a couple scenes.. I enjoyed it because it does have a good meaning behind it and plus it's always good to root for the underdog films that aren't well known. The slumber party scene is hilarious, got to check it out for yourself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
