The Big Year movie packs about birding competition that we may never heard it before. We can watch how these three men aimed to win over this competition. They don’t call themselves as bird  watchers. In a single twelve month span, they have to spot the greatest number of birds for the record. Hundreds of birders are flocking across the continent of North America. Do you think it would be easy for them to spot the few? Probably not. They won’t tell you and you’ll know if you watch it. You’ll love to do some spotting on your own.

Jack Black is 36 and divorced, living with his parents. Steve Martin is trying to retire from his position at the head of a big company. Owen Wilson is the reigning champion who likes birding more than his sport. It brings them how to balance their life and get better exposure of nature in birding competition. Each one has different reason and try to win big year.
