The Big Year Reviews

This movie seemed rather obscure but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though I didn't expect much from the damned thing, I have to admit that it was not bad at all. I mean, let's be honest, would you expect a great movie dealing with a subject like birding (apparently, to call it 'bird-watching' is considered as a grear insult for these guys)? Furthermore, the 3 main actors (Owen Wilson, Jack Black, Steve Martin) were all stuck playing their usual stereotypes which didn't help either. And yet, the damned thing was not bad though. First of all, I didn't know much about birding so it was pretty interesting to learn more about this hobby. Furthermore, if you have a hobby or, even better a passion, it is easy to identify with them and to understand what these guys were aiming at and I thought it was rather well handled. I also enjoyed the sense of community around the birders and the sense of fulfillment when they meet someone sharing the same passion. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really groundbreaking, it was a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre. 

Well the rating of the movie, "The Big Year" may not be very promising at Listal as well as IMDB, but I like the movie. The movie is about passion of BIRDING and it shows how Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson cope up their personal life with the strong passion of not only birding but to win the big year race. The movie also touched on how some people loose a lot while persuing their passion.

The Big Year a film uniting formidable comedy triumvirate of Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson. The story tracks three men embarking on a 'Big Year', a 365-day mission to spot the most birds across the United States of America, each of them has something to prove.

Well I must say the movie may not be outstanding, keeping the BIG TRIO in the cast but it worth giving a shot.
