  "Rare Birds" is a wonderful film. Andy Jones, playing a very affable and believable Newfoundlander steals the show from Hollywood actor William Hurt. This is sure to land him more roles and some deserved recognition. He also closely resembles an Uncle of a friend of mine. Although Hurt plays the straight man to Jones' colorful character, I found his performance rather flat. He made a mild attempt to take on the "Newfie" accent but I found sometimes the accent was there and other times it wasn't. I also really enjoyed the vehicle he drove in the film, a beat up early 1980's version of the Lada Cossack 4X4. They must have salvaged this beauty from a dump in Gander or something. Actress Molly Parker is a beautiful woman but is not overly glamourous which gives her a very nice " Girl next door charm". Although there was some romance in this film between Parker's character and Hurt's character, it did not overpower the film which is a rare treat. It's nice to see two character's relationship develop slowly in a film without having to show them going at it like two rabbits. This film progressed nicely until the end when it seemed to get a little silly with the hapless RCMP officers dominating the scenes and not offering much to the plot of the film. All in all a wonderful comedy, sure to please most viewers, Birdwatching enthusiasts may be offended by their portrayal in this film but so what. No big special effects here, no computerized whiz bang, just a funny story, a great cast, some good laughs and some nice scenery.
(8/10)
