Northern Comfort is certainly different. It's a novel plot with an opportunity for it's characters to be endearing, but instead follows individual arcs where none of them are particularly likeable. A small group of people with a fear of flying undertake a course to overcome their phobia. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, they find themselves marooned in Iceland. Whilst the the plot does get going, for a relatively short film it doesn't fly by at all. It's quirky, but fails to capture enough attention to be able to recall the names of the characters. The comedy is weak, provided through the unconventional or deadpan. Some beautiful scenery is showcased, but you could watch an advert from the Icelandic tourism board for that.

I mean, the premise is ok, the actors are in many cases great, the cinematography is not bad....but....it's just such a boring, pointless mess! I had some hopes for this when I saw the list of actors...but holy cow, this was SUCH a bad movie. I'd avoid it at all cost - spend your precious time doing something else. Ugh.

I definitely see the attempt for a good comedy movie, but it turned out completely wrong. I think the plot was supposed to be different. Edward's role was great and he should be the actual main character and leader of the expedition. But instead of course for people with fear of flying it should have been about someone who was kidnapped as a little kid from their home, forced to live with fake family, lied to by everyone around, who happened to get serious neurological illness, that no one could ever treat and Edward trying to pretend that he's trying to do something for that person and maybe one day return them home, but instead ending up constantly teaching the person crucial life lessons that no one ever asked for. I don't think flying should be ever mentioned. There should be also featured frequent nuclear attack alarm, which would finally be true at the end. It should also be clear that the person is always just playing the victim. It could also picture crowd of many rich people who have nothing important to do but to make constantly fun from someone who's sick and being mistreated. Not much has changed since the Middle Ages.

Do you think we find it funny when people keep having bad luck and thats enough to call it a comedy? There was not one funny scene or one funny actor. I am not sure why you call this comefy or why you made this movie at all. Such a waste of time. I kept waiting for the funny part and it never came. Actually I did not even smile throughout whole movie. I find it hard to believe some people fibd tjis funny and gave it 5 stars but then I remember people use all kinds of psychoactive substances so that must be an explanation. First comedies turned into romance and then into nothing!!! Do not waste time watching this.

You can read all the reviews to get a cross section of responses. I for one just enjoyed the presence of favourites from other comedies. I had time to wonder if the exterior shots of that Hotel has been used in half a dozen "end of the world" films and TV shows. I also had time to wonder how actors feel when they know what they are working on will be a failure. I also had time to wonder if the film makers realise that Vivaldi's 4 Seasons (free to use) has recently been used in so many recent.... However. Wait for the end. Who agrees? They all died. THAT is the point of the film! They had good reasons to have a fear of flying.
