Even a paddle can't keep this movie from sinking. Go to Full Review

While striving for a bit of liberalism (ain't we City types the real stoopid ones) almost every scene then throws in the towel and falls back on a clutch of unfunny country-livin' clichs. Go to Full Review

But what can you say about any picture where the bear puts in the best performance and is the most talked about entity in the movie's own press kit? Go to Full Review

Shepard, Green and Lillard have good chemistry, and this bodes well considering there are three characters to play off each other rather than just two Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 21 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Callie J Aug 24 An under-the-radar gem, this movie is a rare example of a 2000s era comedy that actually aged pretty well, with the exception of the casual homophobia that was absolutely endemic at that time. It's a very charming, fun little time capsule to a period when a comedy didn't have to be anything but FUNNY, and this movie absolutely is extremely funny, but it's also a solid adventure flick with great scenery and pretty daring stunts. The casting is both perfect and unexpected, with Matthew Lillard in particular really shining as the heart of the film. Bonus points, of course, for Bart the Bear making an appearance! See more Pramit B @pramit Aug 22 Absolutely hilarious, I was laughing every few minutes, some of the scenes had me in tears! Truly a fun watch. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Jul 17 A bit corny and cheesy at times but displays a true moral towards the ending. See more Madam D Jun 27 Absolutely goofy, but it got better as it went along plus I enjoyed the entire cast. See more Ace R @dragoneca2 Jun 6 I did not like this movie at all. It is not funny, nor is the storyline any good. I would not recommend seeing this movie. 👎 See more Read all reviews
