A great film with a lot of our lovely country

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2014)

A lovely film in which our beautiful country (Iceland) a manages to play itself, the Himalayas, Greenland and Afganinstan! Some wonderful characters and for once mostly laid back acting from Stiller. The last scenes gave him a warmth of character which was a pleasing advance on many of his previous performances. Apart from the crazy imagined scenes there was an easy-going pace to this film. And this was a great plug for our lovely (and adaptable) country. There was some confusion over the icebergs in what was so obviously an Icelandic village. Our Icelandic actors managed pretty convincing eccentrics, although one gets a bit tired of the inevitable drunken sailors!
