PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"This gently charming comedy about a trio of birders is based on a winning premise, likable performances and stunning natural vistas (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
"Like birding itself, "The Big Year" rewards patience. It respects both the integrity and the eccentricity of the avian obsession, and it communicates something of the fascinating abundance and weirdness of the animals themselves" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"This film may not do for birds what Frankel's last film, Marley & Me, did for dogs, but there's a similar current of warmth and appreciation for the effect of animals on people" (Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
