Three fanatical bird-watchers (Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Jack Black) spend an entire year competing to spot the highest number of species as El Nino sends an extraordinary variety of rare breeds flying up into the U.S., but they quickly discover that there are more important things than coming out on top of the competition. Director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley and Me) teams with screenwriter Howard Franklin to adapt author Mark Obmascik's 1998 book of the same name. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As they enter into their third season on the gridiron, the Harlem Hellfighters strive to prove why they should become Harlem's official high school football team, and filmmaker Jon Frankel follows them yard-for-year on their arduous journey to the goalpost. It hasn't been easy for the Hellfighters: while most football teams simply focus on winning, this team must fight to obtain funding and gain permission to play in the city league. As the season gets underway and former NFL player Coach Duke does his best to keep the team's winning spirit alive, these young players from high schools all over Manhattan will struggle to realize their dreams, and learn the true value of victory in the process. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
