Anticipated summer movie lacks more than just 'Paddle'
By Kevin Whitman | September 2, 2004August is a tough time for movies. Studios tend to use the latter half of the month as a de-facto dumping ground for misguided projects, leaving the public in the unenviable position of choosing between movies like "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" and "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2." Stuck right in the middle of this end of the summer doldrums is the substandard buddy comedy: "Without a Paddle." The film tells the story of three friends Tom (Dax Shepard), Jerry (Matthew Lillard), and Dan (Seth Green) who reunite after Billy, the fourth member of their childhood clique, dies in an accident.
