The Big Year

Wilson, Black, and Martin are all birders - they take an entire year to see and log all the birds they see - traveling all over the place to see as many as they can. The person that sees the most birds in a year is listed in a birding magazine and declared the best birder in the world. That's the back story - while all this is going on the 3 men each face different conflicts in their life. Black (Kung-fu Panda) wants to connect to his father (Brian Dennehy from Silverado) and fall in love (Rashida Jones from The Office). Wilson (Cars) wants to beat his own record set a couple of years ago and make sure no one else does, but he loses his third wife. Martin (Parenthood) wants to retire and spend his days with his wife (JoBeth Williams from Poltergeist) and grandson. Joel McHale (Community) and Kevin Pollack (A Few Good Men) also have some scenes. It was subtle and well done. All in all, I say: SEE IT
