Reiss Aus: Zwei Menschen. Zwei Jahre. Ein Traum (2019)
Millenials on the Road
To be honest I only watched up to the point that Lena began criticizing the Africans for being people of faith and putting her own atheistic values on them. They were ill prepared for this trip and apparently had not done any research on the cultures they would be going through. No, Africa is not like Hamburg... not even close. They should have know that.
Brews Brothers (2020)
Bad, Bad, Worse
I live in a beer town. Obviously the writers of this show don't. Script was probably written under the influence of Bud Light or Coors. The final straw was the use of the Belgian flag that was supposed to be German. Carmen Flood is cute, but her cuteness cannot carry this farce.
Expedition Happiness (2017)
Millennials Whine Their Way Across A Continent.
Where to begin. I have traveled my entire life... a lot. I have never met two more unprepared people to make a long trip.
Long story made short. This is about two millennials that apparently are loaded with cash that want to travel into happiness and bliss. Unfortunately that is not how real travel works. They whine about a border crossing into the US taking two hours when they are traveling with a sick dog. This rant evolves into how bad the US is compared with the rest of the world. Apparently the US government was not prepared to shut the border down to accommodate these two poor children. They travel to Death Valley with no air conditioning and are surprised that it is hot there. Their dog (long-haired and bred for the mountains has heat stroke. What a surprise? Once in Mexico they visit a drug cartel boss. But that's cool. Someone who destroys humans' lives is OK because they did get a tour of a pepper factory. Afterwards they feed the dog taco meat and are surprised that he gets sick. I mean really? These two kids are impossible.
They decide to end their trip in Mexico and that is a good thing. They would never have survived Central America. There, a border crossing can take a whole day, even when you aren't importing an animal. They would have spent days whining about it. They wanted to go all the way to Argentina with the bus. How were they expecting to get the bus to South America? There are no roads. They would have had to clean out their trust funds to ship the bus there. Maybe they had the money. Money was never an issue to them for the rest of the trip.
Research is not a strong point for these two. They are surprised by regulations at border crossing. Flying a drone over Niagara Falls is illegal (they did it anyway). Selling a vehicle in Mexico is illegal (they did it anyway).
Best title for this flick: Endless Selfies with Mood Music
La La Land (2016)
Terrible Movie
I can't believe this movie was nominated for best picture. Must have been a slow year in Hollywood. After I had finished watching the film I had to come to IMDb to read the plot summary to try and understand what this was all about. Still not sure what the director was trying to say. I read that the budget for this film was $30,000,000. That money could have been put to much better use.
