Seven Minutes Of Without A Paddle Online

without_a_paddle.jpgOkay, I posted a little something about the solid trailer for the Matthew Lillard / Seth Green / Dax Shepard comedy a while back so it caught my eye when I spotted that Moviefone had posted a seven minute clip from the film here.

I gotta say I totally buy it. Are we talking Oscar caliber performances here? Nope, but these guys are so good together, so natural, that I have no problem whatsoever believing that they’ve known each other for twenty plus years. These types of films are so often focused on making the characters ‘quirky’ that they forget that it’s the relationships between the characters that lets us buy into the film, so it gives me great hope to see how well they’ve nailed these three friends. I think there’s also a fighting chance that we’re seeing the birth of a new sub-genre here. I first put this down as another stupid teen comedy film, but by casting thirty year old actors and letting them play their actual ages – with all the baggage that goes with that – we’re actually getting a stupid gen-x film, a nostalgia piece for those of us who grew up with Revenge of the Nerds and Porkys instead of American Pie. Nice.
