Without A Paddle (DVD)

This 2004 film was much of a nothing really. A silly plot and a silly few performances could have been a real success given the level of adventure it features here. However, there is a bit of fumbling in terms of the direction it takes, and something just doesn't quite gel for me. The film features three friends, Tom, Jerry and Dan, as they set off following a friend's funeral in search of some buried treasure. The idea is for them to do it to honour a sort of dream of theirs.

As much as I like Seth Green, from his work on Family Guy and elsewhere, there's little excusing him here, in Without a Paddle, a dreadful 2004 comedy that once again reminds us that Matthew Lillard does nothing but play idiotic characters, causing me to wonder a few things about him.

Without a Paddle is a pretty average comedy that has a few laughs but overall it is a rather disappointing film that never really gets to shine. The plot is rather far fetched which is not necessarily a bad thing if the plot was creative however sadly it is not. The central characters are three friends, Tom played by Dax Shepard, Jerry played by Matthew Lillard and finally Dan played by Seth Green, after attending the funeral of their dear friend Billy they each re-evaluate their lives and decide to honour Billy memory by going on a hunt for some buried treasure that was lost after a plane crash. Setting off down the river the three incompetent ...  Read the complete review
