Synopsis

Watch: The Big Year 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – In birding, a Big Year is seeing or hearing as many different species of birds as possible in a calendar year. Three men pursue the Birder of the Year title: Kenny Bostick, who’s seen a record 732 in a past big year, Stu Preissler, newly retired, and Brad Harris, who narrates the story. Life gets in the way: Bostick’s wife wants a baby, Stu’s firm needs him for sensitive negotiations, and Brad, divorced and underemployed at 36, has an encouraging mom and a disapproving dad. They criss-cross the continent (including a trip to Alaska’s westernmost island), follow migration patterns, and head for storms that force birds to ground. Who will win, at what cost, and with what rewards?.
Plot: Three fanatical bird-watchers spend an entire year competing to spot the highest number of species as El Nino sends an extraordinary variety of rare breeds flying up into the U.S., but they quickly discover that there are more important things than coming out on top of the competition.

Big Year has Big Laughs and Touching Moments
In the Big Year, bird-watching (“birding” for those serious about the activity) takes a beautiful backdrop to the story of three men in different stages of life that are all struggling with priorities and what is important in life. Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson all do a great job as lead actors and come across as real bird lovers.

The settings are incredible – taking viewers from Attu Island in the Aleutians to Brownsville, Texas, and everywhere in between. The race to find birds results in many humorous moments between the three competitors as they scour North America in search of rare bird sightings and compete to be the world’s best birder.

Steve Martin does a wonderful job as a man on the verge of retirement, who is struggling to let go of his career. His long-time dream to spend a year birding helps him understand what is important in life. Steve’s character develops a father-like relationship with Jack Black’s aimless computer programmer whose passion is birds. Steve’s character provides fatherly guidance and support that helps Jack Black’s character move forward with his life and relationships.

Owen Wilson is great as the obsessed world’s greatest birder, who does everything that he can to stop his challengers – Steve Martin & Jack Black. The obsession and drive of Owen’s character draws anger, jealousy, and respect from his competitors and other birders. Several supporting actors providing some funny moments with their hatred of Owen.

Overall, Big Year is a funny and heart-warming movie that will make you think about your own priorities and dreams…and maybe grab some binoculars and search out some birds.

Review By: CaptMTS
Great flick about friendship
In the opening narration of The Big Year, Jack Black asks the audience, “Who doesn’t love birds?” While it’s true that most of the people who rent this movie will love birds, since the movie is about a year-long birding competition, it’s not universal. Case in point is yours truly. Before I watched this movie, I’d never heard of the term “birding” and had no idea what the title even meant. I still don’t like birds, but I own a DVD copy and watch this delightful movie all the time. So, even though the movie is about the characters’ love of birds, it’s not really about birds. It’s about competition, friendship, family, and self-discovery.

There’s an actual term called a “big year”, during which “birders” travel all over North America to look at or listen to different species of birds. Whoever tallies the most species, on the honor system, wins the competition. In the movie, Owen Wilson is the previous world champion, with a total of over 700 birds, and his competitive streak gets out of control as he fears someone else might try and beat his record. Steve Martin is a successful businessman, finally retiring and planning to do a big year as he’s dreamed of for decades. Jack Black is an ordinary guy who wants to do a big year, even though it’ll use up every penny he has and drive a wedge between him and his father.

As the three leads set off across the country in search of birds, they learn just how serious birdwatching can get. Owen’s marriage to Rosamund Pike suffers as he becomes more driven and obsessed. Steve’s company keeps calling him back, and with first-time grandfatherhood approaching, he’s not sure how much he wants to really be away from home. Jack uses up all his savings, goes into debt, and continually fights with his dad, Brian Dennehy. Brian gives some great fatherly expressions, both unsupportive and understanding, and his wife, Dianne Weist is so adorable and always supports her little boy. In one scene, Dianne pretends that Brian wants to talk to Jack on the phone, even as he’s waving her off. “He’s grabbing the phone!” she says, before shoving the phone in Brian’s face and insisting he talk to his son.

Steve also gets to show off his acting chops in this movie, especially in my favorite scene when he meets his grandson. How cool is it that he’s been in three movies where his grandson is named after him, and all before he had a child of his own in real life? It’s a very sweet scene, and he’s so great with the baby. If you’re a fan of any of the three leads, or if you’re looking for a hobby after retirement-my dad developed a love of birds after watching it, you’ve got to rent this sweet family-friendly flick.

DLM warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. When Owen Wilson tries to make Steve Martin seasick, the power of suggestion might get to you. Also, when Jack Black runs in the snowy forest, there’s some handheld camera and it will make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
