    **_Too old to rock 'n' roll, but not to hike the Appalachian Trail_** Robert Redford stars as an over-the-hill writer who decides to hike the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail. After his wife (Emma Thompson) insists he get a partner, the only one who's up for the task is an old overweight friend with a drinking problem (Nick Nolte). Kristen Schaal and Mary Steenburgen have peripheral roles. "A Walk in the Woods" (2015) is a consistently amusing drama/adventure starring two seasoned veterans and it delivers the goods as low-key entertainment spiced with worthy mindfood on aging. Some people complain that Redford and Nolte were too old for the parts (they were 78 and 73 during shooting) in light of the real Bill Bryson and Katz being in their 40s in the satirical 1998 biography, but the movie wouldn't have been made without them and, besides, they're effective in the roles and drive home the point of out-of-shape, mature wannabe hikers. It's vastly superior to Emilio Estevez' similar "The Way" from five years earlier. The movie runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot along the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as Sharon, Connecticut. GRADE: B-
