Ben Stiller's finest work yet.

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention."
WOW. I was completely floored by this film. Seeing how Ben Stiller directed this film and starred in it, I was expecting a decent comedy with some normal story or something. But what I got was SO SO MUCH MORE!!
The story was really good. It was one of those feel good type stories, and it really brings you in it and doesn't let go till the end, feeling all happy and satisfied and mushy.
Ben Stiller was awesome in this film. It was really surprising to see him in a not-so-comedy role. The rest of the cast was good too. Sean Pean's little screen time was utilized perfectly. That whole scene with him had this awesome feel to it.
The cinematography in this film was great. The shots of Iceland and Afghanistan (or whatever place it was actually shot in) were immensely beautiful. These shots were complemented by a great soundtrack and the combination just swept me away. BEAUTIFUL!!
The movie might seem slow for the first 30 mins or so but don't let that turn you off. This movie blossoms into a beautiful adventure that will surely mesmerize you. Hats of to Ben Stiller for delivering something great and different from his style.
8.5/10
