Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson in...The Big Year

I'm extremely excited for this. Like, horribly excited. I can't even describe my excitement.
 
Saw the trailer and my excitement for this movie went down. This isn't the movie I thought it would be, not too interested anymore.
 
That's an interesting trio. Steve Martin = really funny , Owen Wilson = kinda funny , & Jack Black = not funny.
 
What looks amazing about this film is that it looks like it will be about more than the birdwatching, but will be a personal journey for these guys. And while we've seen this sort of thing countless times before in the past few years, and most of these efforts were failures, this is the sort of story these three actors are at their best with. And while Wilson and Black don't have the pedigree that Martin has with comedy, they are good actors. Black was great in King Kong, and any movie by Wes Anderson with Wilson will prove Wilson has some serious chops.

And from what I've seen, it looks like Jack's character is much quieter and toned down than he usually is, which is a huge benefit in his favor.
 
Looks ok. Will give it a watch on dvd.
 
it makes me angry that the beautiful Rashida Jones didn't get billing.
 
Oh god, whoever made the trailer for this movie needs to get fired...

It was so generic and misleading--no wonder no one wanted to see this.

I saw this movie and walked in blind and I was shocked to find out what this movie was actually about. I was really surprised with this movie! It was just a really nice movie--the kind you almost never see anymore. I was on the fence about seeing this last weekend and going in with little/no expectations probably helped!
 
I listened to a radio interview with the writer and learned this was based off a true story.It makes me regret not seeing this last weekend.
 
It looks good, but these kind of movies I typically rent. The critics aren't being too favorable to it so far though.
 
Sometimes they open in less theaters to see how they'll perform . I'm guessing.

Yeah , it's average is lower than I would of expected. I think Steve martin is a big selling point for me though. Unfortunately if you don't see a film opening weekend around here it seems dead , unless it's some big budget 3d movie.
 
Rashida Jones is in it and I was angry they didn't even mention her name in the trailer. I know she isn't as big as tr others but come on. She's hot and underrated.
 
Rashida Jones? I hadn't heard about that, now I'm definitely seeing this.
 
I'm on the fence on this movie. It looks like a good comedy & eventually i'll go see it somewhere down the line or just rent it.
