Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Decides to go for - nay, strain for - antics. You can hear the brainstorming: What can we have happen to them?
A Walk in the Woods is pleasant but inconsequential, a passing diversion rather than a worthy cinematic destination.
While older audiences will go for it, even viewers who haven't acquired the wisdom of age can learn something.
Too much of the breezy humor that made the book a delight is stripped away, replaced with predictable jokes and broad slapstick, sitcom-quality encounters with women and bears and a pushy, grating sentimentality.
