The Big Year (2011)

• What's it about?: Three birders compete to see who can see the most bird species across North America in a year.
• Thoughts: It's a decent enough movie, but as a comedy it didn't really get any laughs from me. I guess it's fine if you're a bird nerd.
• Rating: 6/10
• Recommendation: Maybe
• Tier: C
