Preview: The Big Year (2011)

Synopsis:

Three bird-watching enthusiasts decide to give meaning to their lives by spending a year searching the world for the rarest most elusive avian species.

• Poster: C

Review:

The poster lacks any semblance of humor, which should leave the audience wondering not only "what's the big deal?" but also "why should I care?".

• Trailer: C-

Review:

Adding insult to injury, the normally funny Steve Martin delivers one of the worst and most predictable comedic trailer introductions yet produced. That's on top of a boring trailer about unlikable people running around trying to find birds and seeking some grand meaning to life that borders on insulting.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• October 14, 2011
