Editorial Reviews

-Internet Movie Database

"This is the 3rd most entertaining comedy I have ever rented!"

Product Description

Charlie Kaufman, the director of the satirical horror fave Mother’s Day spoofs the entire theatre-going experience with an expert eye in this raucous gag-a-second comedy. The laughs emit at a breakneck pace as hilarious faux coming attractions give way to the main feature, The Outdoorsters, an irreverent tale of an urban family who runs from the rat race to the wild outdoors, where they face the pressures of having a home where the buffalo roam. Wild cougars threaten their existence as their daughter finds a burgeoning romance with a bear. Weejun the Ka O Pec Tate Indian acts as the family’s guide through a wild film that includes appearances by Willie Mays, G. Gordon Liddy, Morey Amsterdam and theater concession stand hot dogs that come alive in a delightfully raunchy animated seqence! Fans of Monty Python and the Farelly Brothers will go wild for this send-up of cinema itself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Undiscovered spoof gem, August 17, 2003

By 

Arthur Martin "arthurpewty" (Toledo, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: When Nature Calls (DVD)

Maybe a little too far behind the AIRPLANE rip-off zeitgeist when it came out in 1985 to be remembered, WHEN NATURE CALLS (no, not the Ace Ventura sequel) seems ready to finally find a cult audience, a few decades late, on DVD. At its best when it is content to be a collection of sketches -- especially the nearly ten minutes of coming-attractions spoofs at the beginning of the film -- the movie loses a bit of energy when it settles into a silly story about a father moving his kin out to the country where they encounter the trials of wilderness living. There are a hell of a lot of groans in this movie, but quite a few lowbrow belly laughs too. And it's a lot better double-feature partner to KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE than AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOOON.

If you liked attack of the killer tomatoes, you'll like this movie. Not for the artsy crowd.
