Charlie Kaufman, the director of the satirical horror fave Mother?s Day spoofs the entire theatre-going experience with an expert eye in this raucous gag-a-second comedy.

Wild cougars threaten their existence as their daughter finds a burgeoning romance with a bear. Weejun the Ka O Pec Tate Indian acts as the family?s guide through a wild film that includes appearances by Willie Mays, G. Gordon Liddy, Morey Amsterdam and theater concession stand hot dogs that come alive in a delightfully raunchy animated seqence! Fans of Monty Python and the Farelly Brothers will go wild for this send-up of cinema itself!« less

"Maybe a little too far behind the AIRPLANE rip-off zeitgeist when it came out in 1985 to be remembered, WHEN NATURE CALLS (no, not the Ace Ventura sequel) seems ready to finally find a cult audience, a few decades late, on DVD. At its best when it is content to be a collection of sketches -- especially the nearly ten minutes of coming-attractions spoofs at the beginning of the film -- the movie loses a bit of energy when it settles into a silly story about a father moving his kin out to the country where they encounter the trials of wilderness living. There are a hell of a lot of groans in this movie, but quite a few lowbrow belly laughs too. And it's a lot better double-feature partner to KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE than AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOOON."
Another great Troma film

"This movie has probably the best love scene ever filmed between a woman and a bear. with that in mind, it isn't for everyone. I loved it and other warped minds will too. Best if viewed under the influence..."
You must love the absurd to like this movie
