On the whole, 'A Walk in the Woods' is worth a watch.

Mary Steenburgen, however, is tiresomely typecast. They create a fabulous on-screen camaraderie & carry the film on their ever-reliable shoulders. Performance-Wise: Robert Redford & Nick Nolte are delightful. Cinematography captures the wilderness well. Bill Holderman & Michael Arndt's Screenplay is nicely done. However, the film plays it safe at all times & hence it turns out be a good watch, but nothing memorable. Watching the senior protagonists go on a trip in the wilderness, offers moments of warmth & subtle humour. 'A Walk in the Woods' is sweet look at age, adventure & friendship. 'A Walk in the Woods' Synopsis: After spending two decades in England, Bill Bryson returns to the U.S., where he decides the best way to connect with his homeland is to hike the Appalachian Trail with one of his oldest friends. Robert Redford & Nick Nolte star as old friends who make the improbable decision to hike the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail, and that is when the fun begins. With his five decades of consistent work in the business, few people know as much about what it takes to make it in Hollywood as Robert Redford. Its also supremely well-acted, although that barely comes as a surprise, since the performers on-screen are legends.

Based on the 1998 book/memoir of the same name by Bill Bryson, 'A Walk in the Woods' is a sweet, simple & uncomplicated film, that turns out to be nice fun.
