Quotes from the Film Fest:
"Funniest thing I've seen in awhile!"
"Great job building on a time honored paddling tradition"
"Plenty of good natured humor, complete with excellent river descriptions"
Pretty girls, great scenery, and some fantastic whitewater are all here along with a new creature that's scarier than a paddlesnake!
