Description: Brand New and Free Shipping in the USA Get ready for some laughter and heartwarming with the DVD "The Big Year." Starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson, this comedy-contemporary film follows the story of three men who are all vying for the same woman. The DVD comes in a tall case and has a region code of DVD: 1 (US, Canada...). With a runtime of 100 minutes, this PG-rated movie features English and Spanish subtitles, as well as English, French, and Spanish languages. Directed by David Frankel and produced by Curtis Hanson, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stuart Cornfeld, this movie is a must-see for any comedy lover. Released in 2011 by Mill Creek Studios, this DVD is perfect for adding to your collection. Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson star in this smart, funny comedy from the director of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and MARLEY & ME. Looking to shake up their routine lives, three amateur bird watchers compete to become the ultimate "birder" by spotting the greatest number of species within a single calendar year. But the friendly rivalry soon turns into a hilariously complicated cross-country adventure as each man begins to realize that the quest for success comes at a price and that's not chicken feed! Never get between a birder and a Pink-footed Goose. As we learn from The Big Year, the intensity of birders (the term birdwatcher is dismissed here as insufficiently committed) is not to be taken lightly, and their quest of rare species creates the gentle comedy of this film, which is based on a real phenomenon. In the world of birders, there's a goal set each calendar year, and based on the honor system: who can spot the most varieties of our feathered friends? All-time champ Kenny Bostick (Owen Wilson) is a legendary name in the birding game, and this year he's trying to beat his own record--but retired CEO Stu Preissler (Steve Martin) and slovenly upstart Brad Harris (Jack Black) are determined to topple the colorful and ruthless Bostick from his, er, perch. The movie's at its best when charting the movements of these obsessed enthusiasts in the wild, as they scramble from Alaska to Arizona to New Jersey in pursuit of their goal; it's less successful at trying to create human interest in the home lives of these guys. And despite the comedic talents of the main threesome, nobody really stands out; each plays to his usual persona without adding a new wrinkle. Director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) has a weirdly overqualified supporting cast on his hands, but except for Rosamund Pike as Bostick's neglected wife and Rashida Jones as a geeky birder, most of these folks flit by with little to do: Brian Dennehy and Dianne Wiest as Brad's parents, Anjelica Huston as a salty sea captain, Tim Blake Nelson as an awestruck birder. It's easy enough to enjoy this film for its offbeat subject and mild-mannered tone, even if there isn't anything terribly distinctive about it.
