Expedition Happiness

This 'movie' made me want to stick pins in my eyes. How can they have gone for so long without even cleaning the god damn camera lens!? Why is this on Netflix? It's a poorly executed vlog at best. No wonder they're travelling alone, they are the most boring, narcissistic people I've ever seen. They shouldn't be allowed to own a dog either.

The biggest travel bummer to this lightweight "adventure" is getting hassled for a couple of hours at the US border and the dog getting sick. It's a cool dog, and the hosts are nice looking, but this is pretty tame stuff. Hardly an adventure travel epic and not particularly well filmed - alot of selfies and talking to the camera. Nothing special and better travel adventure films are plentiful. Meh..

I think these guys did a pretty good job with this movie . It is exactly what it was was set out to be - an invitation to see Canada and Mexico and whatever else in between, through their eyes and to accompany them on their journey . I didn't start watching this movie because I wanted to see a break though in cinema, I did it because I'm stuck in London at the moment and I'm craving for that wonderlust feeling of going and exploring places. That's what the poster sold and I bought it. I think they've accomplished exactly that to make you remember what life can be like on the road, or make you wonder if you've never done it before "could I pull this off? Sure as hell converting that bus looks like hard work.." If you're expecting "Into the wild" -don't! It's something else completely. it's been quite a few weeks since I watched it and I keep thinking back to those amazing shots from Alaska and the beautiful scenery from Canada. For that I will give them a 6. Just because it stuck with me and the soundtrack was good.

I can not understand why would Netflix buy such a soulless movie that ends up with animal suffering.

I didn't have much expectations for this based on the title. But I love travel, the mountains, and the road and this film really touched me. For amateurs the cinematogra[hy is excpetional and so is the soundtrack. Did I mention I love the mountains?

I don't understand all of the harsh reviews. Clearly they made some mistakes, but they are a friendly and engagining people. Maybe it is just internet hate, maybe I just long for the road. And ok, yes that bus was too damn big! They can't go naywhere in the city, They can't go far on mountain roads. And how they hell were they planning on getting it past the Darian Gap to Colombia???

Still, a beautiful journey with some great scenery and music. Enjoy.
