Storyline
In this new comedy adventure, celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson,
instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife, and large
and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail -
2,200 miles of America's most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged
countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to
find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by
the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek - his long
lost and former friend Katz, a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who,
after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead
of the law - sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts
and sneak into one last adventure before its too late. The trouble is,
the two have a completely different definition of the word, "adventure".
Now they're about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge,
the real fun begins. Written by

Read the book, watch the film then hike the trail.
Caught a screening of
this movie in Salt Lake City. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy put it
on. What a fun movie, Nolte is great in it!! I was quite surprised on
how funny he was. Redford and Nolte make a good team. About time a
Bryson book got up on the big screen. I wonder how much of an increase
in foot traffic there will be on the AT after this movie gets released.
I'm sure next summer will be quite a bit busier. If a movie makes me
want to go to the location/s it takes place I count that as a great
movie. If you are a fan of the book, actors, hiking, nature or have
hiked the AT you should enjoy this one. Well worth the visit to the
cinema.
