Cork B Not awful, but not particularly memorable. My dad loved this... I suspect it hits with more impact if you are in the final act of your life. Something like Grumpy Old Men was better, but there are some laughs (notably Schaal). My biggest issue with the film is it isn't very cohesive. Scenes and supporting cast just show up, often cut in roughly, only to never be seen again. There is kind of a thematic arc about reaching for your goals and reconnecting, but I think the writing didn't help. Redford and Nolte have always been decent actors, but the are maybe a bit old for this. Hard to tell with Nolte, he always looked rough, even when he was young. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Audience Member “A walk in the Woods” is a solid film that explores personal challenges in life's third act, rekindling old friendships, and reminiscing over one's life. If you're looking for a story that doesn't necessitate earplugs and allows you to explore life at a nice pace with character development, interspersed with humor, all set in beautiful country, then this movie is perfect for you. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Joshua R Loved this movie saw the movie before reading the book. And it held close too the actual account very well. Redford and Noltie made a comedy team similar to that of Lemon and Mathieu. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Tim M Robert Redford and Nick Nolte have decent comedic chemistry, but A Walk in the Woods meanders too much for its own good. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Chris D Some of the people the duo encounter don't seem realistic, if I'm wrong then I never want to go hiking in America Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Ewan D I was excited to watch the movie, as it is based off the book titled the same. I enjoyed the movie, the actors were suited to their roles and as how I imagined from when I read the book. I must admit, it must be well over a year since I watched the movie, however I still remember the movie well which highlights its success in being both entertaining and unique. It feels nostalgic to think back about the movie, and I suggest reading the book, preferably before watching the movie. The key point that I want to make clear in this review is that the movie lacked cinematographic shots of nature, particularly of mountains and rivers. If this movie featured more of these shots using arial shots and others, the viewer would have been far more immersed, this is what the book captured very well by describing these features. P.S - the book is beautiful and unrivalled. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
