Ken Kwapis directed this Adventure/Comedy. Watch Preview .Cast: Emma Thompson, Nick Nolte, Robert Redford, Nick Offerman, Kristen Schaal, Mary Steenburgen. Rated R for language and some sexual references. Running time is one hour and forty-four minutes.
A celebrated travel writer (Robert Redford) challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail, accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek (Nick Nolte). Now they're about to find out when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins.
This was an unexpected, pleasant surprise. At first glance this doesn't look like it has much going for it. But Redford and Nolte are very good in their roles, the scenery is fantastic, and the music is even pleasant (for a change). The rest of the cast is only seen briefly and don't add much to the story. There are several laughs along the way along with some adventure, but basically this is about two men, past their prime, trying to push themselves to the limit. Nolte looks and sounds bad, but the years haven't diminished his acting skills and he adds a lot to the story. I don't see younger audiences flocking to this but older patrons should find this to be an enjoyable couple of hours at the movies.
There are no additional scenes after the credits begin. A large screen is preferred. Theatres/Times.
