Always been a fan of Robert Redford and was great to see him again in a role now he is older. A serious but funny film about a couple of friends getting old who refuse to accept it. Good, funny, entertaining watch!!

A disappointment. As a keen reader of Bill Bryson books I was really looking forward to this DVD, however I felt that it was poor. The selection of Robert Redford to play Bryson, might have been flattering 25 years ago but I thought he was completely wrong for the part. A very disappointing film. How on earth did Bill Bryson OK it ? Incidentally my Ebay purchase was perfect in every way so no problem at all with the seller, but the buyer needs to be more selective next time.

If you've read the book you'll be very disappointed with the film, it barely scratches the surface of the content of the book and apart from the overall concept of the film bares little resemblence. The film is lighthearted and harmless but will never win any awards, I felt it never really got going and failed to hold your attention, a good film should have a good start, middle and end and this felt like a bit of start and then all middle with no end, I never connected with any of the characters and felt like I was watching from afar rather than being there with them. They've succeeded in making a mediocre film about what is a genuinely "laugh out loud" book.

Bit disappointing. Bill Bryson is what is entertaining about Bill Bryson. Doesn't really need an actor to play him.

Amusing, easy to watch. Luckily was recommended by a friend otherwise we wouldn’t have known about it.
