33. Without a Paddle

33. Without a Paddle

Critic score: 29/100 - User score: 8.8/10 - This movie definitely evokes feelings of classic '80s movies like 'City Slickers,' but updated for modern humor tastes in the year 2004. Humor tastes in 2004 comprised of lots of misogyny, sexism, farts, and poop. This movie provides that in huge amounts, which can either be a criticism or a good review, depending on who you ask. It's about three old friends who go on a search for treasure. I remember when I did that with my friends. We had a map and everything. The only problem was that we drew the map and there was no treasure.

What critics said: "In a summer filled with dumb comedies, this might prove to be the dumbest. Think 'Road Trip' meets 'City Slickers.' Then dial the humor down a few notches, and you're left 'Without a Paddle.'"

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
