Review of The Big Year (2011) by Nathan M — 01 Jun 2012

Some parts of this movie can hold your attention, like the beauty in the location of the scenes or the brief filming of the actual birds. The story line, however, does not do much to keep you on the edge of your seat, or laughing, or really all that excited.

I was honestly most excited for this movie to end. Jack Black surprised me with his toned down persona in this movie, and is maybe the only thing that kept me from turning it off. If you are looking for a comedy this isn't it! I guess if you are an avid fan of one of the actors, or a birder yourself you may enjoy this movie.

I'd save the money and the time.
