  1. Was lucky enough to have seen the premier at Sundance. Since it does not feel like the kind of flick that will find mass distribution, there is no telling where or when you might get the opportunity to see this movie, but if indeed you get that chance - do not miss it! A straightforward theme with a nominal plot made up of a number of nearly free-standing scenes and only a couple where chronology is all that important. The cast, sound, cinematography, direction, writing and featuring the magnificent scenery of Iceland were all wonderful and Earl Lynn Nelson is a treasure. The scene in the museum (ad libbed according to members of the cast) alone is worth the price of admission. Four of us 50-somethings saw it together and it was a long time after we left the theater before any of us could stop smiling. That's entertainment!

  2. One day during dinner two friends decide it's time to go on a vacation to Iceland. From the start, we know this will be a special trip for these two have a few things in common and very different personalities, so we can expect that there will be a few bumps along the road. We know the setting will be exotic, and there will be after all, some drama along the way.

    As we have seen in a few recent films, the setting is breathtaking and quite exotic, full of sensational vistas, waterfalls, volcanoes, and more. Part of the deal is that both friends will be adventurous while having their meals, enjoy life to the fullest, and live every minute of their journey to the fullest.

    The film is charming because we feel like we are coming along. We can almost taste the fancy cuisine, witness their amazement and surprises when they can't understand what has been placed in front of them, and we want them to have fun because we would like that, too. We get to know more and more of their backgrounds and personalities. One is boisterous and outspoken, the other is more of a passive and sensitive type, and they complement each other. There are several scenes where we see their closeness, their happiness at being there, together, having survived bumpy marriages and long lives.

    Just the way "Mitty" late last year, this film also presents the vastness of the land. We follow their car as it travels through desolate but majestic lands. We see the snowy peaks, the threatening skies, the cold rains, and wonder if they will be able to make it through some of their "adventures".

    One aspect of the film that I found appealing is that it showed that there is no perfect vacation. There is a scene where one gets on the other's nerves, and one seeks solace and peace for a while to be able to rejoin his friends after his hike. We also realize along with them that this film has no answers but experiences, and it is a bit sad to see them standing in a bar, where all these young people are dancing and having a great time, but both realize it might just be a bit past their bedtime.

    Still, there are many wonderful scenes, such as getting lost at night, meeting the Canadian photographer, getting a few looks from the younger generation who somehow appreciates the long journey these two have taken and have earned our respect and appreciation just for having lasted that long.

    "Land Ho!" joins "Shirley Valentine", "Enchanted April" and a few of those gems that take us to exotic locales only to show that is what we bring with us that becomes the essential part of the experience. If we don't partake of the joys of life, we might as well, just stay home and die.

  3. I took the title of this review from the 1976 Jethro Tull album, which is an appropriate time period for this movie because Mitch and Collin, the two main characters in this movie, appear to be either pushing 70 or in their 70s like many boomers. Mitch was a doctor. Collin was a bank manager. Neither is working any longer. Both are now divorced. And alone. The two were married to a pair of sisters, which makes them ex-brothers-in-law but more important, old friends. It's giving nothing away to tell you that the movie spends five minutes in Kentucky and the rest of the time in Iceland.

    This is a road trip movie that follows a set pattern. It starts sort of rocky, gets into a swing, there's a trumped up moment that drives the characters apart, then there's resolution. It seems like every road trip movie is written this way. Only the surprises differ. In this movie, there's a third main character that never speaks. It's the incredible geography of Iceland, which Mitch and Collin explore throughout the movie.

    This is an enjoyable film, which looks lightly at some of the issues associated with growing older that many baby boomers just like Mitch and Collin face today. See the world through Mitch's and Collin's eyes and you'll feel a bit better about the journey. Better yet, buy two first-class tickets to Iceland like they did.

  4. Two older gentlemen go to Iceland on a vacation. That's it. There is no story. Although the protagonists' back story would seem to provide enough framework on which to construct a plot, there is no plot. It is a vacation movie.

    Without a story to tell, the film relies solely on character development. You get to see elderly people smoke a joint, use profanity, and fart. Some members of the audience I was with did seem to enjoy the personalities of the protagonists. This viewer found them to be the opposite of charismatic.

    Nothing new gets revealed except the scenery of Iceland. At least Iceland looks somewhat appealing.
