Review of The Big Year (2011) by Adam S — 28 Apr 2012
I don't think the point of The Big Year is to score laughs, nor it its story overly interesting, but it is just the drive to determine who will win the competition is what made me last the full length of the film.
Wilson won't get any brownie points here from me since he has been funnier and more dramatic before, but it is certainly one of his "better" movies. Black on the other hand surprised me at the depth that he could play, as I was highly growing sick of his "manboy is right" behaviour.
Like Wilson in Paris, Black is more emotionally grounded, albiet while still comfortable in his familiar role. Overall, don't look for at The Big Year for laughs, see it for the adventure.
