Life Is Short: Land Ho!

Life Is Short is an as-needed series documenting the films we just couldn't make it through. We like to refer to these movies as "Damsels in Distress." Previous entries are here , here, here, here, here. and here.

To quote IMDb: "A pair of ex-brothers-in-law set off to Iceland in an attempt to reclaim their youth through Reykjavik nightclubs, trendy spas, and rugged campsites."

What "Land Ho!" consists of -- at least the first half hour or so, with no sign of veering from its course -- is one of the two main characters, Mitch (played by Earl Lynn Nelson), being a sexist pig. It's as if AARP produced "Porky's." It was not very interesting and not a little bit offensive. Sensing it was going nowhere, I pulled the plug a third of the way through.

On to the next adventure.
