Underrated film! Original and genuinely interesting theme, and even though not that funny; what it lacks in that aspect with constant jokes, it makes up for in charm and warmth.
The template and script is pretty standard for comedies nowadays, but because it doesn't rely solely on petty humour, it doesn't crash and burn like most. I also felt that the three main characters were all great with at least some depth, and they were all well acted by Wilson, Black and Martin.
Agree with Monicalo37. A pleasant experience about a concept so utterly ridiculous, it beggars belief. The big year competition is a real thing? YES. Just that fact is enough to make it interesting!
Unusual roles for the cast perhaps, but they all pull it off nicely and the movie never becomes boring.
A nice gem for a cold winter evening when you want something lighter to softly entertain.
Could have a better choice for the lead roles, Jack Black and Owen Wilson are not the choices for that type of roles, that they had in the movie. My opinion
3/5
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It's not really a comedy, so don't go in expecting too many laughs. It is oddly endearing and interesting however.

Being a birder myself, I could thoroughly relate. Not an excellent movie but pleasant enough. I did enjoy seeing my obsession from others eyes.Ljusbus

A great film, possibly fantastic.

Horrible comedy that tries to make the whole world to love birdwatching. It didnt engage me and I thought it was predictible, generic and bland.area8001
I gave it a shot since I'm a birder myself, but I could not get past the annoying narrative voice; it's horrible.VETTE1
Surpisingly good once you get past the half hour mark
