Lost and Found in Armenia

I when to watch this movie with high hopes but sadly it did not live up to my expectations nor personal standards. This movie is very boring and personally I would advise everyone not to watch it. I did not like this movie purely because of the amount of foreign language used in it, although using subtitles I thought this was its main downfall. It raced straight into the climax without us getting to know any of the characters background/personal information or history. It drags on a lot and gets very boring throughout although having some exciting scenes I still felt that it was boring and not at all interesting. It was so bad that I had to leave the cinema before the movie had fully ended, therefor I do not know what happened at the end although I probably could have predicted it anyways for their was no thrills or laughs during the film, there for I rate this movie a: 1/10.

Hope you have found this review helpful.

Funny movie well acted, enjoyed it. Interesting to see other cultures.

Wann a get teh taste of armenian village culture and laugh a lot, then you landed here right.

Very funny cultural movie to relax and enjoy.

Watching in original language is teh best ofc, but also with subtitles one can enjoy,

Supuzingly myself got the recomendation for foreigner college, who doesn't understand armenian of course.

The romance part may be not that great, but it is a comedy and not aromantic movie.

Sadly also here some people couln't separate politics from enterteinment.

Hence some noncense reviews with 1 point.

People relax, this is not war, just a funny movie.

Cn only recommend to watch if you want a mood booster.

This movie occurs for the most part in Armenia and in Armenian, so subtitles are a given. I have no idea how realistic Armenian village life is portrayed, or how serious the threats that exist in border areas, but it is at least as plausible as the nonsense that the big budget Hollywood movies routinely dish up.

All that aside, the movie engaged me from the very beginning, with characters who were not only driving the movie forward, but who had clear motivations for their actions. Although the plot line was simple enough, it was the characters that made the movie more than watchable. I will also add a special mention for the music, which was neither too little nor too much, and reinforced the point that in the movie, America is a distant land. It is not a criticism of the movie, but at its conclusion I was left with a feeling that there ought to be a novel on which the movie was based (or vice versa) which would go into more detail on the political and culture issues that were only hinted at.

Overall, nicely done, and, of course, Angela Sarafyan as Ani is perfectly lovely.

The movie starts well enough with the Turkish setting and over enthusiastic friends. Then the flick starts on shaky ground once it goes to Armenia.

There are too many plots and subplots to compete with Kennedy's attempt to get back to Turkey. The viewer needs a history lesson to actually understand the whats, and whys in the story plot line.

The whole movie begins as a silly charming adventure comedy then becomes a serious romantic story in conflict with local customs in marriage arrangement. It just becomes unfunny, silly and with a very sugary ending.
