The Big Year Movie Review


Just released to Blu-ray and DVD today, January 31st, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment brings us The Big Year, starring Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson!  I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this great movie to review!  I am a huge fan of all three of these comedy stars and was excited to watch this movie.  My husband and I watched it together one night after putting the kids to bed.  This movie is about three men who love birding - I thought it was called bird watching, but apparently this is a sport.  All three men are attempting a "Big Year" in which they compete to see the most birds in one year.  Owen Wilson's character is the current record holder for a "Big Year" and all three are trying to break his record.  The characters that play Jack Black and Steve Martin team up for some comedic results!  This movie is very heartwarming and has it's funny moments too!  My husband and I both liked it very much!


Summary:

Let the fowl play begin!  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the story of a competitive trio who quickly turn a simple quest into the ultimate competition when THE BIG YEAR spreads its wings on Blu-ray and DVD January 31.
