Far til fire & vikingerne

Watched this with three kids in an open-air cinema with lots of other families. Everybody enjoyed the light-hearted fare for what it is: a silly and fun low-budget comedy squarely aimed at pre-teen kids.

The plot is simple: Dad and his four kids are constantly arguing, which provokes the family uncle to suggest viking age family therapy in a back-to-basics forest retreat. The therapist couple running the retreat subjects various families to a series of viking challenges with the goal of bringing them back together. Hilarity - or at least some quite good fun - ensues.

The therapist couple is an amusing, ironic take on therapists and all of their bogus theories. Dad, uncle, the child actors and ther supporting cast all do a good job with their one-dimensional caricatured characters. The movie never gets cringey but stays true to its silly identity through-out. Unpretentious and true to itself.

Definitely recommended for 6 to 12-year olds and their parents looking for some innocent fun.
