I can really understand why a studio would back “The Big Year,” a comedy starring Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. They’re funny guys and each reach a different demographic.
But I just can’t reason out why the studio didn’t read the script.
Perhaps they thought with a solid comedy cast like Martin, Wilson and Black, a comedy about bird watching couldn’t lose.
They were wrong.
“The Big Year” is by far the least funny film I think I’ve seen in the last 5 years.
What a waste!
I think the studio executives who green-lighted this need a refresher course in bird watching – especially the section on spotting a turkey.
“The Big Year” gets a D and is rated PG.
