Jan. 22, 2013 DVD & Blu-ray: Patton Oswalt & Johnny Knoxville in 'Nature Calls' (Photos)

From independent filmmaker Todd Rohal comes the hilarious comedy film Nature Calls, which he wrote and directed. It is loosely based on inspired events he experienced as a Boy Scout where a scoutmaster faked a death as part of a first-aid test. Patton Oswalt and Johnny Knoxville lead a comical cast that includes Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney, Darrell Hammond and the late Patrice O’Neal in his last film appearance.

When dedicated Boy Scout Randy Stevens’s dwindling troop ditches a scout meeting in favor of attending a television-themed slumber party, he is determined to make one last comeback to honor his father’s scouting legacy. Heading to his brother Kirk’s McMansion where the party is for his newly adopted 10-year-old son, Randy rounds up the boys in the middle of the night for a highly unauthorized weekend scout trip in the woods, with his senile dad in tow. All hell breaks loose when Kirk and his gun-toting pals Gentry and Mr. Caldwell give chase. While Randy faces off against Kirk, his polar opposite and arch nemesis, the completely inappropriate experience that includes drinking, nudity and other troubling activities turns the sheltered kids into a troop not to be messed with.
