A low-watt, low-wit comedy.

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

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.

Nature Calls eventually becomes something of an ordeal to sit through...

Forgettable, raunchy scouting comedy isn't for young kids.

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.

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.
