Gentle if slightly dull comedy about the best-selling author Bill Bryson (Redford) hiking the Appalachian trail with an old travelling buddy (Nolte). There's no earth shattering epiphanies on offer - just two blokes making fairly obvious observations about life and having entirely expected encounters.What lifts it about the mediocre are Nolte & Redford's performances - and Nolte's in particular. The scenery is also beautiful although I had a strong suspicion some scenes were filmed on the same parts of the trail - despite being at different parts of the movie.
Currently free to watch on Amazon Prime.
Overall: The very watchable Redford & Nolte can't raise enough of a laugh.
