[3] The film follows the story of teenage birders who go on a road trip to find the (possibly) extinct Labrador duck.

The New York Times described it as a "smart, likeable, coming of age film [...] an eye opener for anyone who takes the everyday natural world for granted.

"[7] USA Today wrote that "not since Rob Reiner's Stand by Me has such a compelling rite-of-passage film emerged.
