Lost and Found in Armenia (2013)

Boring

Best movie of this year hands down!

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I disagree with other reviews saying if you are not Armenian or something do not watch it. This movie was funny from start till end,I like the culture difference. and the stereotypes.My grandma is Armenian but I don't speak the language and never mingled with Armenians I bet any person who know a little a bit about other cultures or interested in other cultures will like it. I recommend the movie to any one some may like some may not.every person has a different taste its worth a try first time I hear Armenian language first i thought it was Turkish.............................

I thought this movie was brilliant: it's hard to lightly/humorously cover culture clash/romance/history/conflict all in one entertaining film, but this one does it. It's light and funny, it cuts through the more 'complicated' scenes that talk about the conflict between Turkey/Azerbaijan and Armenia with truth & humor, and most importantly, it tells a lighthearted, funny story about being (literally) thrown into a foreign culture.It was entertaining, funny, and beautifully shot. It completely transports the viewer to not only a different country, but also engages the viewer in the protagonist AND the antagonists at the same time. Brilliantly written.At the end of the day, what more can we ask for from a film?

There were times I didn't like this movie. It moves very slowly and the story is a far fetched. But I can't help but like it. I kept cheering for the two leads to get together even though the whole thing seemed silly. Some of the characters were amazingly one dimensional, (Tahn, Buldo and George) and some of the villagers seemed unrealistic, PLUS, the whole kidnapping/rescue thing was ridiculous.....But I could put up with it for the scene of them getting together.Ended well, enjoyable, moves slowly, but eventually worth it. The girl is the movie.

This movie occurs for the most part in Armenia and in Armenian, so subtitles are a given. I have no idea how realistic Armenian village life is portrayed, or how serious the threats that exist in border areas, but it is at least as plausible as the nonsense that the big budget Hollywood movies routinely dish up.All that aside, the movie engaged me from the very beginning, with characters who were not only driving the movie forward, but who had clear motivations for their actions. Although the plot line was simple enough, it was the characters that made the movie more than watchable. I will also add a special mention for the music, which was neither too little nor too much, and reinforced the point that in the movie, America is a distant land. It is not a criticism of the movie, but at its conclusion I was left with a feeling that there ought to be a novel on which the movie was based (or vice versa) which would go into more detail on the political and culture issues that were only hinted at.Overall, nicely done, and, of course, Angela Sarafyan as Ani is perfectly lovely.
