ABOUT:

Let the fowl play begin! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the story of a competitive trio who quickly turn a simple quest into the ultimate competition when THE BIG YEAR spreads its wings on Blu-ray and DVD January 31.

Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson portray three men from very different walks of life, facing a mid-life crisis, a work-life crisis and a no-life crisis. In the biggest competition of their lives, they undertake an unforgettable trek through North America, engaging in hilarious and bizarre adventures and forming friendships that will last a lifetime!

MY THOUGHTS:

I really liked this movie but then again with Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson what’s not to like!  They probably could have just stood there and I would have laughed!  The movie is about three guys who are avid bird watchers, to the extreme actually!  They all decide to do a Big Year, which means they are scouring the world to see how many birds they can see.  Owen Wilson’s character is the world’s best known bird watcher and he desperately wants to keep his record.  It is amazing how dedicated the characters are but some of them do realize they have other obligations like family and jobs as well.  I could actually watch this movie again as it made me laugh and appreciate the little things!
