"...You've gotta go!"

Synopsis: Greg Van Waspish, feeling that there's more to life than spending day after day working in the city, decides to pack up the family and move out to the wilderness. The family, not having been consulted in this move, takes to their new life very reluctantly but eventually get used to life in the great outdoors. The film also includes parody previews to three non-existant movies.

Favorite Quotes:
• "Hey! There's something else I forgot to tell you! The cougar's back, and he's pissed!" -Weejun

Notes:
When Nature Calls was actually the first film David made, though it released after Return of the Secaucus 7.
When Nature Calls includes cameos from many different stars, including Gates McFaffen (Star Trek), baseball legend Willie Mays and Waergate icon G. Gordon Liddy.
• In this outrageous comedy, David's character (Weejun) interacts with a real cougar in a few scenes.

Critical Praise & Commentary:
• "They learn his name is Weejun (David Strathairn!) from his insurance card. (And it took me half the movie to recognize him. I'm a huge fan of Strathairn... He was friggin' hilarious in this movie!" -Bad Movie Planet

• "They befriend a bumbling Native American from the Ka-O-Pec-Tate tribe (and it took me half the movie to realize it was David Strathairn) and somehow manage to get the dog addicted to tranquilizer darts." -Chad Plambeck, The Independent
