Zelnak's rating
I am not a Will Ferrell fan. Yet I feel it was one of his best and I enjoyed it from start to finish. As a music fan and a huge musical comedy fan it ticked all the boxes.
I dont understand the low ratings with all these hugely impressed reviews. I agree with all. It captures the essence of Eurovision, showcases Iceland well and has laughs and love and funny songs to boot. A must see!! All actors did a fantastic job.
I agree 100% with the other reviewer.
We sat down as a family to watch this, thinking the kids may enjoy it. After falling asleep 30mins in, due to the scientific jargon and black magic cult like script, terrible 80s animation sequences, and uninteresting scenes, even the kids soon had enough.
There is a reason why Disney is the king of family movies. It uses great stories, animated or acted well. with colour and music to keep you alert, interested and wanting more. This movie has none of those. With it's star studded voice actors, you'd expect they had a decent budget to make something great. So what happened?
One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time - and we watch a lot of movies! I feel sorry for the kids sitting through it, as I don't think their minds were expanded or helped in any way.
Give this one a miss. Watch anything else. Or just read a book for 90mins. You'll feel much better for it.

As a fan of real issues portrayed in movies, where families experience the highs and lows of modern life and its challenges, I found Love & Debt very engaging.
The script is well written and the actors do a fine job of drawing you into their world and their emotional journey. It is indeed true that we all now live far beyond our means, swimming in debt, and ready to dismiss or abuse those trying to collect. The most important things in life are family and happiness. Be satisfied with where you are and what you have, but keep working at it because every day presents a new possibility to ruin or success... this story shows it well.
If you are a fan of The Story of Us, Parenthood and other similar takes on the struggles of raising a family, then you should enjoy this film. Not sure why the low rating. I couldn't fault the movie (and I watch hundreds each year)! Sit back with your partner, after the kids are asleep and enjoy the emotional rollercoaster of Love & Debt.
