Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson are at a crossroads — one is experiencing a mid-life crisis, another a late-life crisis, and the third, a far from ordinary no-life crisis. From David Frankel, the director of “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Marley & Me,” comes a sophisticated comedy about three friendly rivals who, tired of being ruled by obligations and responsibilities, dedicate a year of their lives to following their dreams. Their big year takes them on a cross-country journey of wild and life-changing adventures.
See Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson hang out together in the trailer for ‘The Big Year’, which mixes sentiment with broad comedy. Will the movie be touchingly funny – or corny and dumb?Here’s a joke: Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson all walk onto a movie set, working with Marley & Me director David Frankel and The Man Who Knew Too Little screenwriter Howard Franklin on The Big Year, an adaptation of Mark Obmascik’s 1998 book, “The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature and Fowl Obsession.”
The punchline? You get a movie that truly looks like the sum of its parts, if the official Big Year trailer is anything to go by.
Big Year stars Black, Martin, and Wilson as three men in difficult stages of their life: Black is unemployed and has little ambition, Wilson is suffering from a mid-life crisis, and Martin is struggling to figure out how to spend his remaining years, since he is now retired. All three men eventually decide to leave their regular lives behind them for one year and spend that time traveling across the country, doing what they’ve always loved – bird watching.
While the Big Year supporting cast includes noteworthy starlets like Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation), Rosamund Pike (Pride and Prejudice) – along with Oscar-winners Anjelica Huston (The Royal Tenenbaums) and Dianne West (Bullets Over Broadway) – this is clearly Black, Martin, and Wilson’s show. Frankel is aiming to strike a balance between broad comedy and heartfelt sentiment, like he did in films such as Marley & Me and The Devil Wears Prada. Does he look to have done a good job of that?
It’s kind of hard to say, based on the Big Year footage shown so far. Some of the physical comedy bits (like Black’s pratfalls) and glimpses of meaningful conversations between the characters comes off less as genuinely hilarious and touching and more like the sort of over-the-top scenes you’d expect to see in a generic sitcom. Heck, the bit where Black wishes that a blizzard won’t happen – followed immediately by (guess what) a snow storm – almost feels like it should have a laugh track accompanying it.
Best to not dismiss Big Year just yet, though. You might remember that the trailers for Frankel’s adaptation of Marley & Me likewise teased a movie full of wacky comedy antics – and yet the final product was much more serious in tone that we’d all been led to believe. So perhaps The Big Year will offer a better mix of laughs and drama than this trailer indicates. Watch The Big Year Movie Online
If not for anything else, the upcoming movie The Big Year should be entertaining just because it has a fantastic cast supporting it. It’s about three guys, each with a separate crisis — mid-life, work-life and no-life — that compete with each other in everything they do. It culminates — imagine it — at an annual bird spotting tournament. The trailer isn’t anything special; it presents the basic tropes of a movie that focuses on people discovering themselves and little else. Check it out below and hope that, at a minimum, my first sentence holds true.

Based on Mark Obmascik’s 1998 book “The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature and Fowl Obsession,” the film is about three men who try to outdo each other in a bird-watching competition to spot the rarest birds in North America. The rivalry is an allegory for the challenges each faces in his own life.
