I've never read a Bill Bryson book so I came into this fresh with no expectations.
I like Redford in his serious drama roles but he really can't do comedy, even his one liners that are supposed to be sarcastic jokes come out flat.
Nolte was always good in his gruff roles in a duo, particularly in 24 hours opposite Eddie Murphy, but even he can't lift this film.
From the trivia it states Bryson was in his forties when he actually did the hike, why didn't they get someone like Owen Wilson who can actually do comedy roles like this?
Do your self a favour, watch The Big Year instead with Owen Wilson, Steve Martin & Jack Black.
