Review by valleyjohn

A walk in the woods is a gentle comedy about writer Bill Bryson who decides the best way to connect with his homeland is to hike the Appalachian Trail with one of his oldest friends. I thought this was going to be one of those movies where the sensible one has to put up with his irritating friend from the past but it wasn't like that all . Once I got past the slightly annoying voice of Nick Nolte I actually really liked his character , Stephen. He seemed to be the fun one , the one who was good company whilst Bill Bryson was a bit of a miserable old git. It's a little bit depressing to see two extremely well known actors grow old but there is no doubt they both still have it. There weren't many belly laughs in this but there were plenty of moments that made me smile.
