Critics Consensus

Without a Paddle has a few laughs, but not enough to sustain its running time.

Even a paddle can't keep this movie from sinking.

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.

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

Rated: 3.5/5

It's one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. But for some reason I watched it at least once a year.

Flawed? Yes. Dumb? Very much so. That being said, I saw this movie as a kid and it holds up as a quirky, quotable, bizarre situational comedy with good performances with a decent amount of heart in it. I recommend to people who just wanna shit their brains off with some friends over some drinks and just have some chuckles

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
