The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to be accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek - his long lost and former friend Katz, a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law - sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before its too late.
The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word, "adventure". Now they're about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins.

Review:
The film is not quite about Bryson (Redford)'s mid-life crisis (as he's now in his 70s, not 40s like the book), but he and a formerly-estranged friend, Stephen Katz (Nolte) set off on the Appalachian Trail, which spans America's east coast, from Georgia in the South to Maine in the North
From the director of 'He's Just Not That Into You' and 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' - not a promising pedigree! - Kwapis nonetheless does a good job of keeping the pace up, which can be hard when it's mostly two guys just walking and talking!

But therein lies the beauty of the film - it's simple and sweet, with plenty of jokes and wit between the two old friends, some quick interactions with other hikers on the Trail (such as Schaal, gratingly funny!) and some breathtaking wilderness shots.
It did remind me of my time in the U.S. when I did visit the Pisgah Forest in North Carolina and the Great Smoky National Park in Tennessee, where they start their hike. The scenery is helped by Lord Huron's soundtrack, which is folky, but upbeat.

The final third is not as engaging as it could be, but there are some sincere moments to be found amongst the humor and everything is propelled by Nolte & Redford's enjoyable chemistry.
