Faintly amusing, not wacky at all, considering this cast.

Unfortunately, these comic geniuses are kept caged by the wan script and direction. The best gag in the film is the opening title card; the best joke, a throwaway by a day player.

A very mild movie, but in the nicest sense of the word.

The result is an offence-free, mild entertainment in which everyone from cast to scriptwriter seems to be winging it.

What a waste that three of our finest actors are utilized as glorified bit players in such an instantly disposable comedy.

If you go into it not expecting big comedy, "The Big Year" can be an enjoyable diversion for an evening. But it helps if you like nature.
January 27, 2012
The movie roams through its numerous picturesque locations with a pleasant enough grace, while Frankel adds just enough idiosyncratic musical and visual quirks to keep things interesting.

If you can get past the obviously obscure subject matter, you'll find a really sweet film beneath.

The Big Year is completely predictable and full of way too many bird-watching montages set to inspiring music, but it's such an upbeat, cheery film that it's pretty hard to resist.

Frankel and co might have taken a bolder step into the darkly comedic look of the birder's psyche and added more of a gust of air into this film's feathers ...
October 17, 2011
Failing even to attempt genuinely humorous gags or scenarios, and incapable of conveying the thrill of its obsessive pastime or the majesty of the animals themselves, this feel-good male weepie remains comedically and dramatically grounded.

The Big Year has charms: Not a jawdropping flock of them, but a number of sweet insights and warm laughs just the same.
