A movie for birders: The Big Year


Rating: PG · Run time: 1 hrs 40 min · Release date: 10/14/2011

Genre: Comedy

Synopsis: Three disparate men, each facing unique personal challenges, try to outdo each other in the ultimate bird-watching competition in 1998 -- the year El Nino brought an unprecedented number of species to North America. Their quest takes them on an unforgettable trek throughout North America.





The reviews for this movie were pretty mixed but I thought that it was a smart and lighthearted comedy that portrays male friendship in a healthy and mature way. I think even people that aren't into birds will find it entertaining. A must see for all birders. I loved it.
