Watched it last night. Corny but liked it. Poor guide- but it was kind of realistic on the varying skill levels or lack thereof.

Watched tonight as any walking content is great in my excitement before my start in 3 weeks. It's a very lightweight way to spend a couple of hours.

I watched the preview. It wasn't for me. However, on a recommendation note for those of you who enjoy a good read while on the Camino: "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson, 1998. It can be found on Kindle.
This is a hilarious (American humor) account of an ill-prepared man and his friend attempting to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in the US.
It is both non-fiction and fiction. CNN, in its review, said it "...was one of the funniest travel books ever written."

Everything Bill Bryson does is fascinating— his details…. His dry wit and humor… it’s too bad he decided to retire… always a pleasure to re-listen to his stuff

Yes agreed. He is one of Britains favourite Americans, and I think he holds dual citizenship, and for a while was chancellor of my daughters university! A great body of work and his book ‘Notes from a Small Island’ showed he understands British folks better then we do ourselves. He must have loved it though as he settled here!

His insights on the USA ‘Travels in Small Town America’ is fab too.

I like Bill Bryson. I have quite a few of books. I struggle with both this book and the movie as I don't like the way he portrayed his 'friend'. I thought that the book was a lot better than the movie. I preferred the kinda similar book and the movie Wild by Cheryl Strayed, but I have not walked either of those parts. I'd be interested to see what the American thru walkers think.

Agreed… he buddy was portrayed in a weird way… but -you know how friendships go over time—and ppl can be friends for a long time then Take a vacation together-it changes the dynamics a lot—and that’s not even adding in the riggers of doing the AT -they seemed to come back together in the end… can you imagine his friend carrying all the Fanta
I listen to his stuff on Audible-Bill Bryson is a great narrator

It was a fun movie—some stuff exaggerated —but a good movie.
