Three city boys head into the wilderness in this comedy take on classic film "Deliverance."
Without a Paddle - without originality. Tom, Jerry (not the cat and mouse), Dan and Billy are childhood friends - as shown in the overly lengthy opening titles. As adults they go their separate and mostly successful ways. They are reunited by the sad circumstance of Billy´s death. Fulfilling Billy"s adventurous dreams, they set off on a treasure hunt meeting hilarious situations on the way. Very much a formulaic production but enjoyable nonetheless.

In Steven Brill's WITHOUT A PADDLE, three friends embark on a hilariously dangerous adventure through the woods of the Pacific Northwest. When their childhood friend Billy dies, 30-year-old buddies Dan (Seth Green), Tom (Dax Shepard), and Jerry (Matthew Lillard) return home to pay their respects. While there, they unearth a map that Billy left behind, which may or may not lead to a hidden treasure. Dan is a germ-phobic doctor who would rather spend his time anywhere but in the wilderness, but the recently dumped Jerry and down-on-his-luck Tom are intent on fulfilling their friend's lifelong dream; and so begins the trio's journey. It isn't long before things begin to spiral out of control. Starting with a gigantic bear that mistakes Dan for one of its own, the guys are also on the run from two pot-growing maniacs (Ethan Suplee, Abraham Benrubi) who are looking for revenge after their marijuana farm is burned to a crisp. Of course, what would a wilderness expedition be without raging rapids, a towering waterfall, beautiful (but hairy) hippy chicks, and an encounter with a menacing mountain man (Burt Reynolds). Brill's madcap adventure gleefully references DELIVERANCE and 1980s pop culture, and features spot-on performances from Green, Lillard, and Shepard.
Steven Brill directs this comedy adventure starring Seth Green, Matthew Lillard and Dax Shepard as three Philadelphia urbanites who find themselves in deep water when a canoeing trip on the Columbia River in Oregon spirals out of control. Their late friend Billy had told the hapless trio about an unaccounted-for pile of money at an elusive location high in the mountains - but they have to face furious rapids and crazy mountain men (including Burt Reynolds) if they are ever going to get their mitts on it...
