Expedition Happiness
*There are going to be movie spoilers for all the movies I review*
I recently watched "Expedition Happiness" on Netflix. It came up in movies recommended for me and I was looking to pass some time. It is about a couple from Germany with a dog who recycle an old American school bus into their home. They use it as an RV to travel all over the American continent. This 1 hour and 35 minute documentary seemed like a good way to kill time. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the film. I really only decided to watch it because of the bus transformation. I was disappointed when that was only a very short part of the movie given to the construction. They transformed the old bus into a contemporary apartment style living space for themselves and they're mountain dog. After I got over the fact that I wasn't getting the home renovation movie I was looking for I was able to enjoy the movie. They were a quirky hipster couple. Felix Starck had experience in movie making from his documentary "Pedal the World". I haven't seen it but he travels through countries all on his bike and alone. Then Selima Taibi was singer. She writes her own music. And I think the entire soundtrack for the movie was her own music.They start in North America and travel all around the entire continent throughout the movie. They make friends in some of their stops and the traveling around looks like an amazing experience but it takes a big toll on their dog. He has to get surgery and at different stages suffers from the heat. He ends up being the reason they end their travels. In the end I enjoyed the movie much more than I expected and I would rate it 7/10.
