This is a sweet and goofy movie whose charm exceeds the sum of it's parts and best of all it is filmed and set in Iceland. Sadly, there are more more things that are filmed on this favorite island of mine than are set there, more is the pity. While there is murder, mayhem, and more slap stick comedy than I love in a movie, overall I very much enjoyed the silly, sticky saga at the heart of this movie, the only nominee for best song that actually has the song not only in the actual movie (the majority, including the winner in this category, come in the credits), the movie revolves around the writing of the song. Will Ferrell is comic Will Ferrell at his comedic silliness best, it is Rachel Adams who steals the show. No one is more surprised than I am that I am recommending this one.
