The Big Year - review

10 April 2012

The Big Year sees three "birders" (Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson) competing to rack up the greatest number of wildlife sightings in North America in a 12-month period.

Wilson's light touch has rescued many a comedy dud but slapstick and sentiment put this one beyond hope. About as funny as an oil spill.
