Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Einarr01 Even though it does not start as promising as it turns out to be, this movie is a wonderful reflection of what down-to-Earth cinema of today should be. At first I was a little bit reluctant to see this title, as if it didn't appear to be appealing to my liking. Yet, after reconsidering and actually watching it, I must admit that it's a brilliant movie that displays human interaction, in terms of love and friendship, in a very simplistic way, that is perfection of its own kind. The twists and turns into the movie are a very nicely thought way of portraying the love between the characters, having them growing up as individuals together with that, and actually having to take the responsibilities of the adults' life, abandoning the trouble-less carefree existence (yet not to full extent). A thing that impressed me a lot into this movie was the very realistic, without any unneeded drama and overacting, way that shows the troublesome life of Stig Inge - one of the main characters of the movie - who is constantly followed by his anxiety and fear to live a normal life outside the boundaries of Tøyen - a neighborhood in Oslo where most of the action of the movie takes place. A movie that would have been a complete failure if it took the wrong turn of falling for the part of portraying the "reality show like" way of life of the main characters, instead used it as a tool to show the viewer what really matters instead of the misconception of fame and glory, and in the same time to remain nice and simplistic to what it should really be after it all - a perfect movie about love and friendship. I give 9 out of 10 just because I could use a tiny bit better camera work, yet it remains one of the best Norwegian movies I've seen by far.

jm10701 Sometimes I feel sorry for straight people. They live such dull, constipated little lives that they really have nothing to make movies about, and yet they make them anyway. The results are so boring and trite (but they think they're great) that it makes me sad... until I remember that they have ALL the power, and then my sympathy evaporates and I get angry.Buddy is a shallow, phony, sappy, manipulative, irritating soap opera about shallow jerks getting googly-eyed and sappy over girls and each other, circling and elbowing their rivals and strutting and posing and pouting and throwing tantrums, and, and, and... it makes me want to pull my hair out and wail with Peggy Lee, "Is that all there IS?" Is THAT what makes life worth living for straight people? Strutting and gobbling and rutting like turkeys? No wonder they are such goons.Other reviewers have said Nicolai Cleve Broch should be a big Hollywood star, and I could not agree more. That is exactly where he belongs. Boring as hell and thick as a post, but he is a HUNK, and he is a SENSITIVE hunk, and, Man, can he pout!It was not just that "guy" stuff that was tiresome - the women were just as bad, with a lot of anguished melodrama over the neurotic guy who could not leave his neighborhood, and the cute kid who just needed his DAD, and the good girl vs the hard-hearted harpy (guess who won!), and the miracle-working power of friendship, and blah blah blah - it just wore me out!I guess straight people like this kind of stuff, and maybe some gays too... How would I know? It made me angry and nauseous and TIRED, and I was relieved when it was finally over. This movie is about as subtle and intelligent and interesting as a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Bremner Roberts I ordered this movie on Netflix, when i was looking through the foreign section. I didn't really know what it was about but i was willing to give it a chance. I ended up digging it and thinking that it is a pretty cool story of friendship and adversity that you go through with real friends. Then i realized that i recognized one of the characters, the one named Geir. i realized that i had seen another one of his movies (from Netflix), about a week earlier called UNO. I would recommned this movie because it is not too heavy but yet you are invested in the story and the characters and want to see how everything ends up. Anyway, i hope this helps.

slake09 This is one of the best romantic comedies I've seen in a long time. Not only does it bring some originality to the genre, the characters are explored in some depth and the acting is up to anyone's standards.Our protagonist loses his girlfriend, has a brief fling with a roommate and then....well, that's where the originality starts. The cast of characters is an offbeat crew of sign painters, slackers, neurotic web designers and environmental activists, all of them looking to make the world a better place in the midst of their love affairs and financial woes.This is a great date movie; it raises some issues that are worth discussing in the car on the way home; you may even get away with letting your hand stray off the gearshift to your date's thigh.I've seen other Norwegian movies and enjoyed them quite a bit, the most notable being Svidd Neger. There is a vein of sly humor running through these movies that gives them the little extra they needed to stand out in a world of generic Hollywood romances.
