- Considering its source - the filmmaker behind the atrocious Adam Sandler flicks &quot;Little Nicky&quot; and &quot;Mr. Deeds&quot; - the backcountry comedy &quot;Without a Paddle&quot; is comparatively tolerable.

Desperate to propel a plot when chemistry doesn&#39;t work, this sequel puts its heroine through the wringer. Female viewers may feel similarly abused.

Judd Apatow's slacker romantic comedy is not only hard to believe, but hard to swallow
