BIG YEAR, THE

This is a great movie because it has a lot of interesting facts about a lot of different birds. It is a really funny movie. The movie is about three men who are trying to win a contest called The Big Year. They have to find the most different kinds of birds in one year. Bostick (Owen Wilson) is one of the characters in the movie and he won the contest last year. He really wants to win again and beat his own record. Harris (Jack Black) and Preissler (Steve Martin) really wants to beat Bostick so they team up to help each other so one of them can win. The main characters in the movie are Bostick, Harris, and Preissler. My favorite character in the movie is Harris. I like Harris because he tries really hard to beat Bostick and he won't give up. He is also a really funny character and makes me laugh a lot. For example, when a girl that he likes ends up breaking up with her boyfriend, he does a victory dance on his front porch. Then he says that he feels really bad for her (even though he didn't). It is pretty funny. I recommend this movie for ages 6 and up because it has some mild language that is not appropriate for younger children. A lot of people will like this movie though because there are a lot of funny parts. Go out and see it in theaters when it launches on October 14th!

Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson are at a crossroads -- one is experiencing a mid-life crisis, another a late-life crisis, and the third, a far from ordinary no-life crisis. From David Frankel, the director of The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me, comes a sophisticated comedy about three friendly rivals who, tired of being ruled by obligations and responsibilities, dedicate a year of their lives to following their dreams. Their big year takes them on a cross-country journey of wild and life-changing adventures.
