I've always been suspicious of titles that end in an exclamation point ever since reading "O Pioneers!" in my high school English class. What makes a "!" necessary in a title? Is it to express excitement or a sense of urgency of what I'm about to experience? Or is it Sony Pictures Classic yelling the title of the film "Land Ho!" at me? The film's name could easily ditch the punctuation, as it was neither exciting nor titillating enough to deserve it.
"Land Ho!" is a story written and directed by Aaron Katz and Martha Stephens, telling the story of two old men; Earl Lynn Nelson plays a gruff Southerner named Mitch, while Paul Eenhoorn portrays Colin, a timid Aussie. The 60-something ex-brothers-in-law set off on a road trip through Iceland in an attempt to lift their spirits after failed marriages and tragic romances.
