Sweet Land

This film was ostensibly about the American immigrant experience but the people here were portrayed as slightly retarded ninnies and were so irritating that I had to turn it off. It may have redeemed itself later on but I couldn't get past the initial idiocy.

I'd like to suggest that this filmmaker watch Jan Troell's The Emigrants and The New Land for clues on how to make an adult film on this theme. Or even Stroszek for a funny take. Or Picture Bride or Heartland etc., etc. This idea has been done many times...most of them better than this mess.
