Wait I feel like I saw a Norwegian movie with this exact premise…

felipeuno Apr 2, 2026 +40

Found it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13109952/ The Trip(2021). Pretty good solid B+/A-

Comic_Book_Reader Apr 2, 2026 +21

And from this trailer, it's pretty much that movie verbatim. Even has the same cinematographer. Some of the shots are straight up copied and pasted.

felipeuno Apr 2, 2026 +30

I guess it is the English language remake. That’s what it says on the wiki page for the film, anyway.

30

Comic_Book_Reader Apr 2, 2026 +10

It is indeed a remake. The original was actually supposed to be an English language movie made in Norway, as it had a pair of English writers, but they did a last minute turnaround due to Covid.

alexanderthemedium_ Apr 2, 2026 +6

Isnt that kinda what happened with Funny Games too? The director wanted to make it in America but couldnt get funding or approved so made the Dutch version then did a shot for shot remake

Boeboelloe Apr 2, 2026 +1

The original was an Austrian movie

1

CakeBrigadier Apr 2, 2026 +3

I just listened to an interview with Jorma and he confirms he was approached to make the English language adaption of the Norwegian movie

3

Ghost2Eleven Apr 2, 2026 +5

This is a remake of that film.

5

Couldnotbehelpd Apr 2, 2026 +3

It’s literally an English language remake of that movie.

3

energiz3r_bunny Apr 2, 2026 +18

Always rooting for Jorma. Trailer looks a lot better than I was expecting.

gimmethemshoes11 Apr 2, 2026 +1

Its been playing at festivals and a guy I watch just had this top of his rankings from SXSW. So I'm expecting this to be a damn good time.

rainydog221 Apr 2, 2026 +10

The original version of this was pretty fun.

10

Antrikshy Apr 2, 2026 +4

The Trip (2021)? Aha, I wondered if this was a remake of that or a highly similar unrelated movie.

rainydog221 Apr 2, 2026

Yup!

geologicalnoise Apr 2, 2026 +8

This movies premise is total bullshit. I would never harm Samara.

ozymandieus Apr 2, 2026 +60

You know what you never see without it being the plot point of the movie? A movie where the woman is over a decade older than the man. Its always the other way around.

60

Kitlun Apr 2, 2026 +26

Has been becoming more common recently, off top of my head (might not always be a decade age gap): Marty Supreme, Baby girl, Lonely planet, Mack and Rita, No hard feelings (counts as a plot point?), A family affair, May December Older films: Notes on a scandal, Prime, The proposal, The graduate

26

New_Sir_7725 Apr 2, 2026 +12

no hard feelings, babygirl, and the graduate both make the older woman a major plot point. media literacy.

12

Kitlun Apr 2, 2026 +2

Literally said for no hard feelings it's arguably a plot point. Literacy. But yes fair point on The Graduate (although I'd say the bigger plot point is that she is married and has an adult daughter), and I haven't seen baby girl, only the trailers but thought I'd flag it as a reverse age gap.

Something’s Gotta Give (2003) Diane Keaton & Keanu Reeves

BaconBitz109 Apr 2, 2026 +6

Don’t see it as often in real life either.

6

RevenueKooky Apr 2, 2026 +14

Yeah and if the plot revolves around a young man pursuing an older woman, he usually makes the first move

SlobberyFrog Apr 2, 2026 +4

If the plot revolves around a man pursuing a woman, he usually makes the first move

Markushasmagic Apr 2, 2026 +8

Timothee Chalamet was going after a much older Gwenyth Paltrow in Marty Supreme

8

StarTruckNxtGyration Apr 2, 2026 +12

There are loads of those films. The Idea of You, and Family Affair most recently with Anne Hathaway and Nicole Kidman. If anything, the older woman/younger man dynamic has become very common these days.

12

AshesandCinder Apr 2, 2026 +28

Those are all cases where the age gap is a big point of the movie.

28

Massive_Weiner Apr 2, 2026 +2

It’s difficult to *not* address it when the gap is generational. Nobody says shit about 5 years.

2

malkmusconvert Apr 2, 2026 +9

Is the age gap here being addressed though? That's the original point of the thread

9

Massive_Weiner Apr 2, 2026 +2

Unknown. I’m responding to their observation about those types of movies.

2

ozymandieus Apr 2, 2026 +9

My real point is that when a male actor gets older, they often stick them with younger attractive women. But for women, they usually have them with an age appropriate man, unless it's some sort of "man pursuing an older woman" film

9

Massive_Weiner Apr 2, 2026 +3

It’s pretty common for an older female actress to get paired with a younger guy if they’re the lead. The issue is that the older female actress is rarely the lead in the first place.

3

NakedGoose Apr 2, 2026 +2

The Reader. Kate Winslett character is 21 years older.

mcginniswayne Apr 3, 2026 +1

There was a Winona Ryder movie recently (2023ish?) that had this, she was 10 years older than her love interest, who gets kidnapped or goes missing.

this commentary is so stale

V8_Noodle Apr 2, 2026 +5

I’m a huge black comedy fan, and have been a fan of Samara and Jason for awhile. So seeing both of them in a black comedy is going to be PEAK

5

Mu-Relay Apr 2, 2026 +11

I feel like this is one of those movies that either going to be fantastic or horrible. Nothing in between.

11

Comic_Book_Reader Apr 2, 2026 +11

The original (The Trip/I Onde Dager) is kind of an acquired taste but a crowdpleaser and from what we've been shown, and some of the reviews, this is more or less that movie verbatim. Some of the shots like Segel being stabbed in the foot and the pot being yeeted out the window are taken directly from that movie. Hell, it even has the same cinematographer.

11

Ghost2Eleven Apr 2, 2026 +1

It’s definitely not horrible. I think the vast majority of audiences will like this. It’s not life changing, but it’s a lot of fun.

1

malkmusconvert Apr 2, 2026 +1

I'm hoping this has like Hot Rod or Popstar type humor

1

agarret83 Apr 2, 2026 +1

I have faith it’ll be good given the director and two stars

1

Quick_Location Apr 2, 2026 -5

Saw it at SXSW and people loved it but I thought it was like Happy Gilmore without the charm

-5

GuybrushFandango Apr 2, 2026 +11

Happy Gilmore? What a random comparison. Admittedly I’ve only seen the original but I can’t imagine a remake being compared to Happy Gilmore.

11

Ghost2Eleven Apr 2, 2026 +8

There is no Happy Gilmore comparisons to be made to this version whatsoever. Not in tone, character, or story.

8

Quick_Location Apr 2, 2026 -8

Slapstick, annoying characters, weird character choices…

-8

Ghost2Eleven Apr 2, 2026 +4

That’s pretty broad. That could be a lot of movies. I think if you say a bad version of Happy Gilmore people are going to go to goofball underdog sports story. I’d say it’s a much less bloody version of Ready or Not. Think Ready or Not made by the guy who made MacGruber and you’re kinda getting the gist. If you’re not into the goofy humor of Taccone’s other films, then yeah, it’s going to get in the way of the conceit for sure.

4

Ghost2Eleven Apr 2, 2026 +7

Are you thinking of a completely different film? Because I’ve seen this film and there is absolutely nothing in common with Happy Gilmore whatsoever. This is like a darker version of Mr and Mrs. Smith if their professions were filmmakers and it’s set in confined, rural upstate cabin.

7

Quick_Location Apr 2, 2026 -4

Was thinking all the shock and slapstick humor. Pee jars in face, fathers driving fast and furious cars

-4

Lycaon1765 Apr 2, 2026 +2

Saw this in previews yesterday and I'm mildly intrigued, probably will watch it.

IvnOooze Apr 2, 2026 +1

Sean Chandler's favorite movie from SXSW, interesting.

Cody Leach too.

samara weaving is such a vibe, she always kills it in these dark indie roles. definitely adding this to my watchlist asap!
