| The Big Year | comment |
The Big Year is a 2011 film adaptation of the 2004 nonfiction book by Mark Obmascik starring Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson as three birders, each trying to break the "Big Year" record for the most bird species seen in North America in a calendar year.Inspired by… the true story of the 1998 Big Year competition (as recounted in Obmascik's book), it follows Black as Brad Harris, a computer programmer with an expert knowledge of bird calls who's saved up enough money to finally do a Big Year; Martin as Stu Preissler, a corporate executive on the verge of retirement; and Wilson as Kenny Bostick, a contractor and the current record-holder with 732 species. | |

Artistic License – Ornithology | |
| The Big Year / int_11ee737 | comment |
Artistic License – Ornithology: Very minor example (not surprisingly - see Shown Their Work below): in the scene near the beginning where the three protagonists start their Big Years on January 1 the stock footage used to represent Brad's view through his binoculars clearly shows at least three species of seagulls in view...then the counter graphic representing his species tally ticks over to one. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| The Big Year / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Unlike the book, the names of the participants were changed and the events of the 1998 Big Year record attempts were explicitly changed to another year, despite the exact series of unusual weather events that made the 1998 record possible being accurately depicted. In particular, the introductory narration at the start of the film specifically establishes that Sandy Komito is not the same person as Kenny Bostick by crediting Bostick with having broken Komito's old record. | |

Cool Old Guy | |
| The Big Year / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: Stu, who forms an intergenerational friendship and a non-competitive rivalry with Brad. Brad's dad goes from a Grumpy Old Man disappointed with his son to approve his birdwatching hobby after listening to his passionate lecture about the golden plover. He even accompanies Brad in one of his watchings. Fellow birders Dr. Kramer and Dr. Elkin. Even though they appear in very few scenes, they are nice and like chatting with other birders like Brad, most notably when Brad is about to board Annie Auklet's ferry. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Brad's cantankerous father thinks there are better ways his son could spend his time and money. However, he changes after he had the stroke, when his son shows him some of the photos he made and talks passionately about the golden plover's migration. | |

Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: Bostick. Any time the film begins to portray him as not such a bad guy, he immediately does something selfish, rude or underhanded in the pursuit of victory. Although it's worth mentioning that he won't fudge his numbers. | |

Inspired by…: To quote the opening titles: "This is a true story. Only the facts have been changed." Though aside from the characters' names being changed, their personal lives being fictionalised and the story being reset in the 2000s, the movie actually follows the nonfiction book it was based on quite closely for the most part. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| The Big Year / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Stu corrects a colleague who makes the mistake of calling birding "bird watching." Definitely Truth in Television in this case. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial | |
| The Big Year / int_e624f0e8 | comment |
In particular, the introductory narration at the start of the film specifically establishes that Sandy Komito is not the same person as Kenny Bostick by crediting Bostick with having broken Komito's old record. | |

Product Placement | |
| The Big Year / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Subtly done and not too pervasive, but we can tell that Bostick uses Zeiss binoculars, while Stu's are Swarovski and that Stu and his family wear Spy ski goggles. | |
