Land Ho! (2014)

Land Ho!: Directed by Aaron Katz, Martha Stephens. With Earl Lynn Nelson, Paul Eenhoorn, Daníel Gylfason, Þrúður Kristjánsdóttir. A pair of former brothers-in-law embark on a road trip through Iceland.

“Two aging ex-brothers in law – the extroverted, lovable and slightly embarrassing Mitch, and the more introverted, sad-sack Colin take off for a getaway to Iceland. Their adventures are low key and episodic, but the comic rapport between the two men makes it hard to stop smiling. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s no big catharsis or lesson learned, no moment when the smiles turn to tears, nothing that screams u0026#39;important movieu0026#39;. Just an enjoyable hour and a half spent with two eccentric old guys finding themselves and each other on the road in a strange place. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film looks very nice for itu0026#39;s tiny budget, and the two lead performances by Earl Lynn Nelson (a surgeon in real life) and Paul Eenhoorn (an accomplished Australian actor) create a fun naturalism that feels as authentic as if it was all improvised, with us just listening in on these two quite lovable older men.”
