Storyline
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. This bawdy adventure is a throwback to 1980s road trip comedies, as well as a candid exploration of aging, loneliness, and friendship.

Two older gentlemen go to Iceland on a vacation. That's it. There is no
story. Although the protagonists' back story would seem to provide
enough framework on which to construct a plot, there is no plot. It is
a vacation movie.
Without a story to tell, the film relies solely on character
development. You get to see elderly people smoke a joint, use
profanity, and fart. Some members of the audience I was with did seem
to enjoy the personalities of the protagonists. This viewer found them
to be the opposite of charismatic.
Nothing new gets revealed except the scenery of Iceland. At least
Iceland looks somewhat appealing.
