I do not disagree with most the negative comments the have been left previously. Motivations in particular were lacking. Some have said, "why would the main character have signed up". But why would any of the men have signed up? The leader of the expedition has his wife with him who fondles him at every opportunity. And anyone who has ever gone into the wild without an even male/female balance knows how the issue of animal husbandry rears its ugly head when people are away from society and their instincts take over. Also what kind of young men would sign onto an expedition where they can't have sex for a year or more?!
And I am not trying to be funny. This seems very strange to me. And not one of the other guys tries to make a move on the other girl?!...ridiculous. As ridiculous as the two topless Nordic girls that grab the main character for a threesome. From a guys point of view, it made me happy and I laughed, but this guys ain't exactly Juan Bond.
My biggest problem, however was the ending. He tells the girl that he's going to come with her to Prague. He makes a gigantic romantic speech to profess his love and tell her that he's addicted to her and then turns around and tells her he's not going with her.
Plain and simply that just ticked me off. He's writing a book about travel, but can't travel to Eastern Europe to meet her family or help her deal with her dying father?! Nice guy. I love you but I rather go watch a eighteen inch geyser explode.
Good grief...
I enjoyed a lot of the film, but it isn't very well thought out. It does do a good job at exemplifying the virtues of freedom and travel, but also shows that is has a price...
