If you're still reading ..... then you might just love this movie! It's an entertaining story, perfectly cast, has it's twists and turns. There actually are still people who are thrilled by counting birds, and even if you are not, this movie leaves you feeling good. And it has beautiful scenery.

I confess that I love to bird, so I'm a little biased in my review. This is an honest and sometimes funny look at what anyone with a hobby goes through. People pursue their hobby with gusto and their friends and family either get it or they don't, like some of the critics of this movie. I saw myself and what I've put my wife through at times in my pursuit of the birds and was surprised at how true to life it was portrayed. These are human beings that love birds and love being out in nature and that is what draws me out of my house to hunt these beautiful creatures with binoculars and books. If you want a nice movie that is about nature lovers that are chasing a dream and not about blowing something up or hacking someone to death then go see this movie. It's charming and holesome family movie. If you're a birding enthusiast don't be to critical of some of the glaring bird inaccuracies, just go with it. Will be taking my wife to see it this week so she can see herself in it.

It is a good movie but I feel that the previews give the impression that it would be more of a comedy than a drama. Just wish it was more funny.

This was an enjoyable movie about the weird competitive birder culture. Owen Wilson was sort of a bad guy in this one. He gave a good performance, as did Steve Martin and Jack Black. Supporting players and cameos were good too.

Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and most of all Steve Martin drew me to this movie. I watched it, and waited to laugh. Unfortunately I never really laughed, once or twice there was the one-liner that made me giggle for a moment, but other than that I was bored. I went with a 8 and a 9 year old (they had seen the main characters on Ellen and thought it would be a good movie, I agreed), and they were restless for a while until they finally fell asleep.
