Let me try... Maybe I should just talk about what we felt when they were in Iceland.  The movie made us want to pack our bags and go to Iceland ASAP, but of course, there are lots of things to consider. Not knowing the whole picture, we felt for Ben(PAOLO CONTIS) because Jen(ALESSANDRA DE ROSSI) was being so annoyingly bratty.   Later, we wou...

I couldn't help it.  We couldn't help it.  We clapped as loud as we could when the movie ended. As the trailer suggested, the ending was bittersweet, but there's more to it than meets  the eye .
