We saw a screening of this movie earlier this week and I must say, it was funnier than we thought it would be. For those of you who liked the movie, "STRANGE WILDERNESS" (where Steve Zahn and his film crew go on a hunt while competing to be the first ones to film big foot), than you'll love this movie. It's starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson & Steve Martin. All three (known as "bird watchers" go on a quest to find the most species of birds. However, if you do it for a year than it's an actual bird watching competition known as "The Big Year", and of course, everyone denies they're doing a "Big Year".
To sum it up real quick, it's about Jack Black teaming up with Steve Martin (who both play the protagonists) to beat the high score and reigning/defending champion of 737 birds, Owen Wilson, who is the antagonist in this movie. He lies, cheats, slows others down so he can be first & takes any advantage he can to be the first person to see or photograph a bird. The person who see's the most birds during the big year wins a title of "The Best Bird Watcher of the world".
Wilson does an excellent job playing the antagonist and it had the entire theater cracking up and laughing from start to finish. It has one F word and two S words in it, besides that, sex or violence and is recommended for the whole family. I am 100% confident that it'll be rated PG-13.
I give it *** out of *****.
