My Take on the DVD
When you see the cast of actors in this movie you would never know that the movie itself was about bird watching, but it is, and the actors do a great job within it. There is definitely chemistry within the cast and you can see this from the beginning to the end of this movie. I loved the depth that each of the actors brings to the movie and you are not assaulted by off the wall humor, but humor is still there (just not as much as you would expect with this cast). You also are not assaulted by colorful language, but instead this movie is one that is well acted, well thought out with a strong plot. The movie is definitely one that I would recommend as I know you will enjoy it as thoroughly as I did!
