HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (November 10, 2008) – Two best friends that have lost touch and a foreigner in a strange land head into the wilderness on a hilariously harebrained expedition when Without A Paddle: Nature's Calling comes exclusively to DVD and Blu-ray from Paramount Home Entertainment on January 13, 2009. An uproarious follow up to the 2004 hit adventure comedy Without a Paddle, this all-new movie marks the first feature from Paramount Famous Productions, the studio's recently launched made-for-home entertainment production division. It stars Oliver James (What a Girl Wants, Raise Your Voice), Amber McDonald (You Tell Me), Madison Riley (Bratz), Kristopher Turner ("A Dad for Christmas"), Rik Young (Beowulf), Ellen Albertini Dow (Wedding Crashers) and former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice in an anything-goes whitewater adventure awash in laughs and thrills. The Without A Paddle: Nature's Calling DVD and Blu-ray include a boat load of featured including deleted as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette.

Everything that can go wrong goes hilariously wrong when two best friends and one zany Brit venture out into the wilderness in search of a high school sweetheart. On this trip, the stakes are higher, the river is wilder and the creatures are nuttier! Trying to grant a last wish to a little old lady (Ellen Albertini Dow), lawyer Ben (Oliver James) and nursing home attendant Zach (Kristopher Turner) join forces with a wacky Brit named Nigel
(Rik Young) in search of the woman's missing granddaughter whose last known address is—the wilderness. These three not-exactly-outdoorsmen demonstrate their subsistence level survival skills in a series of sidesplitting misadventures sure to have audiences camping out in front of the TV again and again.
