Lost and Found in Armenia Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
robinalan020 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.............................
cradlecomputers First things first, I understand/speak Armenian and even though the movie was made by Armenians the subtitles were wrong most of the time. Not recommended if you do not speak Armenian.The jokes were only funny if you are Armenian and know the stereotypes of the villagers in Armenia. They played with the stereotypes wonderfully, even if they exaggerated a bit. Again, as an Armenian speaking person i found this movie very funny and a really good watch. To add, most of my Armenian speaking friends and relatives have seen this film and they also loved it. You see where i'm going with this? its only funny to Armenians, and i'm sure that is who they were targeting. Let me help you understand a few scenes that can seem strange to non- Armenians: *Spoiler Alert*"You mean Glendale": When Jamie Kennedy says this line he is referencing Glendale, CA. Glendale is like a little Armenia. Most Hollywood types reference Glendale when speaking about Armenians because, if you didn't know, Glendale is in Los Angeles, and only a couple miles from Hollywood. The Kidnapping scene: The scene where the two guys kidnap Ani is a literal translation of "axchik paxtsanel" which translates to kidnapping a girl. but Armenians say "axchik paxtsanel" for eloping. so that scene was a literal translation of that common Armenian phrase, thus it was funny. The head smacks: many people in this movie get smacked in the head for saying stupid things. this is very common in Armenian culture, its essentially a sign from an elder that you are out of line. CONCLUSION: Overall i found this movie very funny, especially since i know a few of the actors personally having grown up in the same city as them, Glendale. If you speak Armenian it is definitely worth a watch. If you don't, i don't suggest it. 8/10
sounik1 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?
awab_avril Okay, the movie was amazing in its parts about Armenian culture and it was shockingly true and funny at the same time. I am also very happy to see many actors from different nationalities here. So its not some stupid Americans depicting a foreigner and looking foolish. Anyhow, I really enjoyed most of the movie except for two parts that made me uncomfortable and a little irritated at the same time. The first part is the American actors in here. It might be funny but the characters were very obnoxious and for me they were the main reason why I am not giving this movie a 10! Very rude and stereotypical American tourist characters. Even when the tourist was in Armenia, he was very irritating to watch. Not funny at all! The second part which made me very uncomfortable was "Ani's" comments about fighting Muslim countries! That was very rude in addition to depicting Azerbaijanis as rapists and bad people. The movie is great but this part is very wrong and racist against Azerbaijan and Turkey! Unacceptable at all!
