A retired surgeon (Earl Lynn Nelson) and his reserved former brother-in-law (Paul Eenhoorn) try to recapture their youth during a journey across Iceland.

Critics Consensus

Gently amusing and agreeably modest in scale, Land Ho! uses its stars' warm chemistry to impart its poignant, quietly effective message.

3/5

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.

3/4

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

[An] engaging, low-key character study.

One of those lovely “old buddy” comedies where two elderly people just go hang out and reminisce on life in lovely vistas.

Writer/directors Aaron Katz and Martha Stephens navigate this material with a surprising amount of confidence.

Amazing that they made so much out of so little. Nelson relentlessly pumps out the comedy, and Eenhoorn convincingly counters this bombardment and brings a much-needed splash of sunlight to the film's end.
