Intriguing Movie...
18 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I was channel surfing the other night and happened to stumble upon this movie. Firstly thinking it was a French movie I watched. When realizing it was Norwegian I watched on with intrigue. It was a very interesting movie about 3 friends, their rise to fame and the trials and obstacles of their very complex friendship. Funny how coincidences can change you life, or in this case Kristoffer's. Running away from authorities from yet another "JAckAss" style daredevil task, he drops some tapes. Unaware that TV executives have picked up these tapes, he goes on his day to day life in his dead end job as a board painter receiving the phone call that could change his life from an unknown being into a famous star.

Kristoffer, Stig Inge and Geir are in this partnership together and they go through their life of fame together. However Stig Inge has serious problems with life outside of his SHopping centre home and rarely makes it to these functions. Eventually Kristoffer finds himself alone at these functions with only him and the price of fame to blame.

At the end, Kristoffer does the honourable thing and realizes that fame is not worth throwing away valuable friendships for, and at the same time realizing who his true love is. Wonderful movie..fantastically sculpted a picture of what a friendship should be like.
