Audience Member The schtick here is significantly less amusing after 2016. You hate to see it, folks. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The pretty incredible story of the comedian Jon Gnarr running for major in the capital of Iceland. Gnarr and his party the "Best Party" is on a campain, slowly gaining votes. It started out as a joke but as the elecion comes closer, the votes comes in. Their big interests seems like jokes, but still, the votes comes in. Promises of "free towels in all swimming pools" and "a polar bear for the Reykjavík zoo" among others are their big goals. I know it's been done something similiar in other countries as well, but since Iceland had some great crisis, the people of Reykjavik seem to hang on the the idea of fun and happiness. The man is not even that funny, but this is quite something. Incredible story and an all right documentary. 6 out of 10 kangaroo steaks. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Iceland. Documentary. Funny, Inspiring. Comedian runs for mayor of Reykjavik initially as sort of a prank, but with genuine concerns/frustrations with the current government. Gains popular support. Cool. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Jon Gnarr is an Icelandic comedia, and has been for quite some time (over 20 years). He's been fed up with the banality of politics and their inhabitants. He jokingly decides to run for Mayor of the nation's capital, Rekjavik. His competitors are appalled and amused that he's taking a stab at the important position. Gnarr, in a brilliantly organic and effortless fashion, derides the politics and politicians for their inexcusable boringness and lack of flavor. He eventually believes that the people of Iceland need a leader with a sense of humor, someone bright but also someone who isn't afraid to mess around and liven the mood. This little joke turns into a question of what people want out of a leader when it comes to persona. It is riveting juxtaposing Icelandic humor and what Americans find comical because the contrast is salient. In the end, we find Gnarr, who's party is freshly entitled "The Best Party," actually prevailing in the election followed by baby-kissing. This unbelievable triumph accentuates who important humor is around the world because it's not an art form, it's simply a life form; it's ubiquitous, whether or not it's vocalized.
