Robert Redford plays an author of travel books. After attending the funeral of a friend, he gets restless and decides to hike the 2,100 mile long Appalachian Trail. His wife (Emma Thompson) insists that he can't do it alone, so he brings along an old friend, played by Nick Nolte.
It's kind of like Wild crossed with Sideways, but poorly written. Redford and Nolte have good chemistry together, but they don't have anything interesting to say to each other. There are no real stakes and no consequences. They just go from one encounter to the next and by the end, the journey felt kind of pointless.
I was bored watching this movie.
