In Theaters : THE BIG YEAR (2011)

Official Synopsis : 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

Genre: Comedy

What to Expect : A high-concept buddy-movie of sorts, featuring three fine actors who make it worthwhile. It's neither brilliant, nor will it make you shake with uncontrolable laughter, but in this bland fall season, you could do a lot worse.

Critical Response : Mixed to negative. Critics considered the movie to be disappointingly unfunny, despite the best efforts of its cast and the promising premise. The mixed reviews paint the picture of a harmless good-hearted comedy, while one angry critic remarked that "A game of Angry Birds is far more enjoyable than this flocked-up mess". Rated 39% on Rottentomatoes.com from 26 positive and 41 negative reviews.
