Lost in the woods

Nature Calls (2012)

Written and directed by Todd Rohal this film stars Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney and Patrice O'Neal. With his boy scout troop on the verge of disbanding a scout master takes some kids away to the woods.

There is plenty of promise in the premise of this film but adult comedy tone is completely out of whack with what should have been nostalgic look at childhood in the outdoors compared to modern parenting. It seems that there are at least a few scenes missing because Knoxville's antagonist goes completely unexplained as does why a normal person would be marred to such a horrid person. Ultimately I am left wondering why anyone thought this was a good idea and it surprises me something so bad got made.


1/5
