There's nothing wrong with the idea of trying to make a Bad News Bears for the '10s, and Rohal has the comic talent in front of the camera to do the job. In addition to Oswalt and Knoxville, he has Maura Tierney as Knoxville's wife. Read full review

It almost seems like harder work somehow to get this many comedians together and then turn out a movie that is only so fitfully funny. Read full review

Eric Hynes

Nov 6, 2012

No amount of eccentric Americana (or slyly marginal inventiveness) can salvage this strangely lifeless - and largely laughless - gonzo comedy, which is doomed by a flimsy script, one-dimensional characterizations and distractingly inept child acting. Read full review

Surely Patton Oswalt could have leveraged all those accolades from last year's "Young Adult" into a better project than this instantly forgettable comedy. Read full review

Nature Calls demonstrates yet again that the real question for any bad script is not "Who wrote this garbage?" but, rather, "Who read this garbage and thought it would make a viable way to spend time?" Read full review

Kyle Smith

A low-watt, low-wit comedy. Read full review

Thomas Hachard

Nov 8, 2012

Writer-director Todd Rohal fills muddled scenes with manic amounts of jokes that all manage to land with a thud. Read full review

Nature Calls is one of the worst movies I've ever seen EVER! The cast was mediocre, the plot was ridiculous, all of the characters are annoying, and there isn't a single humorous scene in the entire film. Don't waste your time.
