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.

... squanders its cast amid a collection of lackluster gags.

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.

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.
