Well, that's what happens when they don't advertise the movie. I saw 1 tv spot in front of How I Met Your Mother, and that's it. Fox did not put any effort at all into this movie.
Even though the movie is a piece of crap, they could have emphasized the 3 comedians that it stars.
Well, they'll learn.

I thought the film was good :p and a nice introduction to the joys and insanity of birding. Great scenery too.

Just found out this has come and gone! Couldn't believe it. Saw Martin on Fallon last night and he didn't mention this. So I come here. Damn. This thing took a knee pretty quick. Actually saw the stars promoting more than I saw trailers. The three of them were on Leno, Martin was on several talk shows trying to detail "birding," and then it just disappeared. Seems like the marketing department tapped out pretty quick when they realized the dud they had on their hands (the couple clips I saw were painful).

I guess bird wasn't the word.

Have they even shown this in the UK? I saw no advertising for it at all. Not even a trailer at the cinema.

Yeah, this is one of those "let's waste money and hope we win awards" kind of movies. Nobody likes them except people who feel like they have to like them. I watched 45 minutes and then skipped to the predictable end to see who won.
