The Big Year (2011)
Directed by David
Frankel this film stars Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson and
Rosamund Pike. Three men join a competition to see who can see the
most species of birds in North America during a single year.
Adapted from a book
this film acknowledges that it is very loose adaptation which is a
lot better than claiming to be true facts. Despite the fairly light
tone of the film it actually has some decent themes of the price of
obsession and mortality running under the surface. Where the film is
a bit weak is that it really lacks the laugh out loud comedy you
would expect from a film with Jack Black and Steve Martin.
4/5
