Default Film REVIEW

" A BIG YEAR " Went yesterday afternoon to see this ( due to weather ) was quite funny along with situations that reminded me of myself. How true to life this film was, I cant answer, It was based on a birder trying to keep the record he holds for the most birds he seen in a year in N. America. Morals and priorities play a big part in this film and, who wins what and gains what is really the lessons to be learned. 6 out of 10 FILM, which held my interest due to nice clips or birds and countryside. I also tried to count how many birds I have seen in this film must have be 40+. Believable sometimes but birding from a chopper and his last bird of the year and where he got it, No, No chance. Anyway make your own mind up and see if you can spot the plastic gulls
