    Regret to watch

    I've some time to chill and watch a movie in crowded activity, and i'm so regret to watch this worst movie! Really wasting my break time.

    Don't bother

    Pointless film, couldn't even make it to the end, not even like it takes in some of the best sites of Iceland for someone spending their last days before supposedly heading off to California. Just 4 teens wandering about in and out of places led by the main moody 'deep in thought' actress in the lead role. Yawn...

    A gentle, quirky coming of age film

    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.

    One of the worst film I've ever

    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)

    Waste of time

    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.
