    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.

    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.

    Pleasant and relaxing

    It's ok. An enjoyable film that's easy to watch, if a little unbelievable in places. There are some slightly surreal comedic elements throughout the film, in particular the canoe and the aunt.

    Some of the minor characters are a little irritating and out of place (Tom Prior as Jack), but all of the main characters play their parts well. The character of Gunni (played by Atli Oskar Fjalarsson) was particularly likeable. Everybody needs a friend like Gunni - short on words, big on actions, dependable and there when you need him.

    More could have been done in terms of scenery and landscapes. We see very little of this with most of the scenes taking place indoors.

    Most of the dialogue takes place in English for no apparent reason other than the main character is going to California. It would have been nicer (and more believable) if more of the dialogue had been in Icelandic. But perhaps they were aiming for a broader market...

    It tries a little too hard. While it doesn't completely fail, it doesn't really succeed either.

    Overall, it's nice and strangely relaxing. While it probably won't win any awards, there are far worse offerings out there and it's a very pleasant way to spend 90 minutes.

    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)

    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.
