Very disappointed :(

The greatest movie ever made..!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie ever!

Kristoffer (Nicolai Cleve Broch) is a billboard hanger, 24 years old and carefree. When his girlfriend Elisabeth (Janne Formoe) dumps him for the boss of her trend bureau, his life falls into pieces.As of 2014, director Morten Tyldum has only made four films over a 12-year period (this being his first). While this one is simple (even incorporating the use of home video footage), it is rather effective and was well-received in Norway. Now that Tyldum is getting international recognition with "The Imitation Game", many more people will likely discover this title for the first time.While this is not the sort of film that would have received Oscar attention, it is the sort of film that can launch a hugely successful career. And for that it may be worth checking out.

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.

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.

Its not every day you see a movie that really gets under your skin! As said before , this movie is so charming with its simplicty! A must-see for everyone with an intressed in real life, and not only the 007 world. Enjoy!
