Review of A Walk in the Woods (2015) by Bettyspinks — 05 Sep 2015
Ouch, this movie is painful to watch. Some laughs from Nolte, but Redford is DOA. Do not go see this movie if you are under 45. This one is strictly for the oldies. It was a sea of white hair in the audience.
The cinematography is totally uninspired. If anyone wants to hike the Appalachian, this movie will not inspire you. The special effects of the (fake) snow storm were mid-90s bad. The encounters along the journey were contrived: hitchhiking with drunk newly-engaged rednecks; falling off a cliff; the "bears in the camp" scene.
Again, some mild chuckles to be had. I would wait and rent the DVD to watch on Thanksgiving Day with Grandma and Grandpa. Now that I think about it, Redford is 80. Bryson was 50 when he did the trip. Redford may be the only reason this movie got produced but I wish he would've taken his ego out of it and stayed behind the camera.
Woulda been much better to show a younger old man, than a painfully old man.
