The Big Year
is opening this weekend.
I hope it's OK. I hope it's funny.

Sure hope they did not make a mess of this, like
Mr Popper's Penguins
. A treasured childhood classic ruined.

An engaging, well-acted and very entertaining political thriller, but doesn't have a whole lot to say about its ostensible subject.
Rotten Tomato Review
I really loved this movie. It gave me a new appreciation for birds. The performances are great. The movie was funny, touching and really entertaining throughout the whole movie. This was way better than I thought it would be, it was a great movie.Grade: A-

The review from

... looking ok. Not mad about the "stars", but a super supporting cast.

Sure hope the trailers have not shown us
all
the funny stuff - because I
laughed
! More than once, esp when recognising pretty much every situation with the Irish Birding Fraternity. Funny tho - they say "binocs" - we say "bins". I like "bins".
