We're happy to go along for the ride with the film's odd couple, who make for interesting character studies -- and, besides, the scenery is stunning. Just don't expect that much will have been accomplished or changed by the time the curtain closes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2014

Eenhoorn brings an understated wry quality to his performance that nicely counterbalances Nelson's unflagging bonhomie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 21, 2014

[An] engaging, low-key character study.

| Aug 21, 2014

As a performance showcase it's intriguing simply because Eenhoorn and Nelson barely belong to the same species, so different are they in demeanor.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 21, 2014

"Land Ho!" is an indie oddball of a movie that wanders about with two seniors looking to squeeze a bit more out of life. The squeezing is gentle but affirming, just like the film.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 21, 2014

It's a visual treat, yet has little else to offer.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 15, 2014

A road-trip movie about a couple of guys nearing the end of life's road, Land Ho! is a sweetly simple tale that underscores what we already know but too often forget: Adventurism and finding your bliss are not just for the young.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2014

Like most stars of road movies, they're an odd couple; unlike most, both the friction between them and their underlying loyalty feel real, not contrived to supply a movie's dramatic arc.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2014

A marvelous slice of lo-fi whimsy about two duffers, longtime acquaintances in the gray zone between middle age and old age, who up and travel from Kentucky to the Land of Fire and Ice.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 14, 2014

A low-key, odd-couple comedy built mostly around Nelson's coarse ad-libs and Eenhoorn's sighing reactions.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2014

It's a warm soak rather than a squirt in the eye.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 14, 2014

"Land Ho!" is a tepid little movie that goes almost nowhere, and if I had to sit in that rental car for one more boob joke, I'd rather jump into a volcano.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2014

The movie is pleasant and mostly forgettable, except for the character of Mitch.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 8, 2014

Small, unexpected moments elevate Land Ho!

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 7, 2014

You realize fairly early in the film that there will be no emotional payoff. Just an hour and a half of vacation photos in motion.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2014

The road-trip comedy is well-traveled territory, especially in indie films. But there's something unexpectedly refreshing about "Land Ho!"

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2014

The juxtaposition of mundane silliness and those primordial, mythic landscapes proves unexpectedly magical.

| Jul 17, 2014

Land Ho! makes it possible to engage with its subjects' pathos and experience their sense of renewal along with them, and concludes with the lingering sense that their adventure has only just begun.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 16, 2014

The gorgeous scene stealer in this gentle-spirited road movie is the country of Iceland, depicted in breathtaking wide-angle shots by cinematographer Andrew Reed.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 16, 2014

Yes, this is yet another bromance, but for people who remember when that was just called friendship.
