I saw Burt Reynolds interviewed about "Without a paddle" and was looking forward to more than the film delivered. Yes, the apparent Magnetic-North mix-up that might have led DB Cooper to his death or disappearance, was novel but vague. The "locker-room" / "Porky's" grade humor was stale when it was first thought up. The two pot-farmers, Gomer and Pyle, were a distraction much like the bear was. So, "City Slickers" meets "Deliverance", "Without a Paddle" is a bottom-dweller with "Rat Race" of two years ago.
