Fox 2000 has released the first trailer for the competitive birding comedy The Big Year. Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson star as three men who try to outdo each other during a year-long competition to spot the rarest birds in North America. Martin, Black and Wilson can all be incredibly funny given the right material, but nothing in this trailer made me laugh. Given the story, it’s possible that the film is more of a dramedy, but one would think there would be at least some laughs to be had given the excellent cast. I’m hoping that they’re holding back the goods, so I’ll reserve judgement until we see more.
Rosamund Pike, Jim Parsons, Joel McHale, JoBeth Williams, Brian Dennehy, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Anderson, and Tim Blake Nelson also star. David Frankel (Marley & Me) directed the adaptation of the Mark Obmascik book. The Big Year opens October 14th. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Here’s the 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.

From the cast alone, this looks like it will make a billion dollars.
I thought this film was about competitive bird watching. The lame trailer ignores that little fact. The message — great cast, lousy movie.
It looks like it COULD be moving but by the little bit of “comedy” they’ve shown here. It looks like it’s going to be a major fail.
This is the kind of movie that is made on the bird watching . In my opinion this is the first kind of movie that i see on bird watching so the movie seems to be nice. I like the trailers of the movie, Thanks for sharing this article on the movie,
