Remake of the Scandinavian dark comedy.

Yes it is.

Saw Force Majeure when it came out in 2014. Why is this American version necessary?
Especially when it will probably just dumb things down.

I saw it in DVD several years ago. Good, subversive comedy.
This remake is not necessary. Few are.
Even with comedy veterans Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell, this only has 4/10 on IMDB. Ouch!

Yeah, it's interesting that I rated it a 7 at that time and the IMDb has come to judge it a 7.3. So I was really close to "correct".

Itself a "remake" of 'The Loneliest Planet' (Julia Loktev, 2011)...
