Iceland Is Best

Worst movie I've ever watched. It's sad to think that so many people put their effort, time and money into a movie just to produce something so ridiculously bad.

I strongly suspect the leading actress paid all the movie to make it happen.... totally pointless and not touching, sensation, funny about this movie. Iceland name being ruin...... the scene wasn't as beautiful as expect.

Charming little film. A warning to those who love CGI generated violence and dramatic action play Mobile with someone killed every five minutes. It's not the film for you. This coming-of-age comedy - in spite odmf a loving family, a good home life, and loving, supporting friends, she longs for a great adventure leaving the security to go out into the world. She grew up in one of the safest places in the world, rural Iceland. I wonder what she would have experienced when she made it to tapanga in the Los Angeles area. It certainly would've opened her eyes to another fast paced part of the world, and she would've learned from it. Don't many of his have the same advent when we going to college or university or go into the military. We lose our innocence. But my guess is Sigga eventually she would've gone back to Iceland.

It's just really weird, story makes no sense and the acting is terrible. I thought this was a comedy but turns out it's not supposed to be funny and that it should be taken seriously. It's like The Room but that film was at least enjoyable where this film lacks any charisma. Stay away (unless you like terrible films)

17 year old Sigga wants to leave her Icelandic home and move to California. Her friends want to join her, but she insists on going right away. This has a pretty girl on the cover and a standard indie premise. It is a mostly Iceland cast with a few Hollywood types in supporting roles.

First, there is the language. For a few minutes, I thought they were trying for a British accent. Then the Bjork-with-less-fairy accent do become noticeable. I would have preferred the Icelandic language instead and drop the Hollywood actors. It would give this indie more authenticity. As it stands, this is a lower grade Hollywood copy of an Icelandic indie. In addition to authenticity, there is also a need for better comedy. The movie tries like carrying the canoe around. It's funny-like work, but it's not actually funny. Quite frankly, it would matter less if they are speaking in a foreign language. Once they use English, the actors need better timing to do any jokes properly.

The general concept is fine. Sigga should show the audience her Icelandic world and when she leaves, she can feel the nostalgia for it. That's the proper story. This movie barely shows what Iceland is really like. The friends are just a bunch of non-descript kids. The most memorable thing is Judd Nelson having two jobs. He's able to sell the limited comedy there. I'm not sure who decided to make this movie in English. That was a mistake.
