Summary:
Bill Bryson, instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail: 2,200 miles of America's most unspoiled, spectacular, and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, when the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek is his long-lost former friend Katz, a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer. "Nolte's performance elevates Katz to the pantheon of disheveled, dissolute sidekicks that includes Walter Brennan in 'To Have and Have Not,' Walter Huston in 'The Treasure of Sierra Madre,' and Edmond O'Brien in 'The Wild Bunch.'"--Boston Globe "The two actors carp and quip well together, enough to carry us through a plot with few surprises."--Toronto Star "It is unexpectedly moving and occasionally delightful to spend time with these titans of cinema as they walk and sometimes wobble, delivering words that become meaningful because they're lucky enough to be spoken by Mr. Redford and Mr. Nolte."--New York Times "Thoughtful, fun, and Redford and Nolte are both in the zone."--Newsday
