The Big Year 2011

The Big Year (2011)     Three fanatical bird watchers spend an entire year competing to spot the greatest number of species as El Nino sends a variety of rare birds flying into the U.S.  One pays a high price to be the winner and two other birders discover other things can be more important than bird watching.
     This is good, I didn't know what it was about until I started watching it.  It's listed as a comedy but it's more a drama and a man-flick instead of a chick-flick.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

100 min, directed by David Frankel with Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson Brian Dennehy, Anjelica Huston, Rashida Jones, Rsamund Pike, Dianne Wiest, JoBeth Williams.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 5.9 out of 10, 40% critic 41% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
