Land Ho! (2014)

There are a lot of cringe worthy moments in this movie, but in the end I was glad that I had watched it, and I also loved that I got to see some of the incredible beauty of Iceland once again.
The story itself is about two characters, one that you could bear to be with and one that you most decidedly could not.  Mitch is an aging surgeon who turns up at his newly-ex-brother-in-law Colin’s house one fine afternoon, ostensibly to cheer Colin up.  Mitch is a good old boy--affable, unapologetically sexist, and a controller. He’s the kind of good time that can drive a less exuberant person a little nuts.  Colin is yin to his yang, and while the two do not change one iota as the movie progresses, you can see that this is a way for people who are very different to co-exist.  Mitch needs to talk less and Colin needs to say no more often, but while very different, they can manage to get along.  Mitch is struggling with a life event, and Colin is who he turned to.  It is a strange mix of quiet and loud that ends up working pretty well.
