What to Know

Critics Reviews

Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Darned if the film didn't ultimately work for me. Mostly, it was the fun of seeing these two veteran actors riff off each other. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review John Anderson America Magazine It's not heavy; it's not wildly significant. But A Walk in the Woods has a redemptive tone, a gentle lesson about aging and limitations and never giving up despite any required climb, uphill or otherwise. Sep 22, 2015 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) There are a few chuckles along the way, but only the scenery has any real depth. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2015 Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Center for Media Studies Profound is definitely not a word that can be associated with A Walk in the Woods. Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Won't ever be mentioned in the same breath as any of Redford or Nolte's classic films - it's too silly and too obvious - but watching these two charismatic actors onscreen it's not hard to remember what we liked about them in the first place. Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) (Redford and Nolte) make tired clichés feel like old friends, taking us on a pleasant stroll through the woods that may not lead anywhere, but we're having such a good time that the destination no longer matters. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Reviews

Jonathan H I've enjoyed watching this movie a few times over the years. It's a sweet story about our willingness to travel uncharted territory throughout our lives. It's also about the joy of having a friend there to share in the journey and the struggles. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Walt S A comfortable evening spent watching two great actors in a mediocre movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Michael N Its an oddly pleasant movie to watch, like sitting and listening to stories from your grandpa. If you are looking for a good story line and interesting charecter development this isnt it but it you want good back ground noise and the occasional laugh, this isnt so bad Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review donnie m can't even listen to this horrible voice of Nick Nolte as he talks with food falling out of his mouth is sickening and 'really' bad acting by Redford-i never saw what other people saw in this guy-changing the channel now..... Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Marta S No es mala película para pasar el rato! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review John P Disclaimer,I'm an old guy. I will be 70 this year. I have really enjoyed both Robert Redford and Nick Nolte in works they've done.Speaking of this movie, it is not for everyone. If you're an old guy, there will be lots of laughs. If you're not, I suggest you don't tune in.Hard to imagine to 80+ year-old guys taking on the 2100 mile Appalachian Trail. Probably not very real. But their antics and their memories along the trail were precious. Just the scenery along the Appalachian Trail is worth watching the movie.Remember the people that you haven't communicated with for the past 20, 30, or 40 years and reach out to them.
