I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The greatest movie ever made..!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Known to the English-speaking world as 'Turn Me On, Dammit!', this comedy-drama blend from Norway focuses on a sexually frustrated teenage girl who feels repressed by her outskirts town. She daydreams on a regular basis, often losing herself in fantasies (including a lesbian love scene with her best friend's sister!) so when a boy who she fancies "pokes" her with his manhood and then later denies it, the question arises of whether or she imagined it all. Promising all this might sound, the film does not really play around with the ambiguity of whether or not the poke actually occurred. She is always convinced that it did happen (even if we as viewers have our doubts) and the film instead focuses her ostracism at school as a result of the dispute over whether she was poked. Add in some nosy neighbours and the film has quite a bit to offer in terms of showing how suffocating a small town environment is, especially when everyone knows you and you have a reputation. Intelligent as this may be though, it is rather tame for a movie that opens with a daring scene in which the "almost sixteen" year old protagonist's dog watches with interest as she pleasures herself during phone sex. This is, in fact, the film's chief pitfall in a way as it delivers its best scene way too early in the piece. That said, the film is frequently funny and it consistently works as a comedy even if it is lightweight on explicit content and raunchiness. Several of her fantasies (especially those involving her boss) are laugh-out-loud funny and the film ends on a pitch perfect comical note. Great final line.

Let's face it, horny teenager movies are a dime a dozen. Don't get me wrong, I love them but when you pay to see one you know exactly what to expect: a formula plot about a bunch of high school misfits who start off the film unlucky in love, but through a series of often contrived incidents they all manage to 'score' by the end of the movie, humiliate the school bully and earn the respects of their peers. A great tale, but starting to get a little dog-eared.How interesting then to get this quaint little film that subverts the story in innumerable ways. A lot of people misunderstand the sheer brilliance of this film, and assume that the fact that it inverts the genders of the characters, by making the female the lead, is what makes the film unique. That's not true in the slightest, by inverting the genders the film shows us that men and women are more alike than we might realise. Girls are not strange creatures from another planet, they just sometimes seem that way - which this film sets out to debunk.At times funny, poignant and even sad, this film here is a beautiful poignant tale about growing up, and what makes it even more subversive is that it has the nerve to pretend to be a sex comedy. You can take the comedy out of the sex, but not vice versa, which this film powerfully demonstrates. Don't go in expecting American Pie, but rather American Pie meets American Beauty, with a bit of American Graffiti thrown in, all given a delicious Norwegian blend! Bon appetit!

The concept of the adolescent sex comedy is not something movie goers haven't seen before, but the Norwegian film Turn Me On, Dammit! does offer a new perspective on a popular, yet critically maligned sub-genre. The film features everything one might expect from a sex comedy. Awkward moments, a few shocks, and several scenes of tenderness, however the thing that sets this film apart from the American Pies, is that the horny teenager in this film is a female.The film focuses on Alma, a 15-year-old girl who lives in the small town of Skoddeheimen, and is in a constant state of fantasy, daydreaming about sleeping with nearly every man she lays eyes on. To suppress her urges, she becomes slightly addicted to calling phone sex lines, although she realizes they are a poor substitute for real human affection. She lives with her mother, who doesn't exactly know how to cope with her daughter's budding sexuality, and has difficulty approaching the subject. Alma is also in love with her neighbor Arthur, but after an incident at a party involving him, she misses her shot and becomes the school's pariah.Adapted from a novel by Olaug Nilssen, and written and directed by Jannicke Systad, the most interesting part of Turn Me On, Dammit! is the simple fact that there's a female lead. Too often in American cinema we only see boys as dorky, sex-obsessed virgins. In our sexually repressed society, it's easy to forget that girls get horny too, and that's exactly what this film explores.While there were certainly some embarrassing and uncomfortable moments in the film, it would be unfair to compare it to the sex comedies of America, because rather than focusing on the outlandish, this film takes a much more grounded approach. The comedy is less gross-out sight gags, and more dialogue-driven and situational.The bleak backdrop of the one-horse town the characters live in is just enough to give the film that Euro-indie feel that we are all becoming accustomed to. Those viewers that grew up in small towns will also appreciate the stagnant feeling the characters all seem to share regarding the town.While the majority of the film was charming, there weren't too many laugh out loud moments. Although some of the jokes may have been lost in translation, overall it was not a very funny movie. That's not to say it wasn't entertaining, just don't expect a laugh riot.The film's climax also left something to be desired. The majority of the film moved at a relatively slow pace, then when Alma hit her lowest point, she inexplicably does a 180 and everything is sunshine and rainbows once again. One could argue this sentiment, but I would have liked to have seen a stronger resolution between Alma and her mother, and be given more inner dialogue from her explaining why she was feeling better about life.Although Norway seems to be cranking out high quality movies left and right these days, most of them are gritty crime stories, so it's refreshing to see a more light-hearted film come our way. Turn Me On, Dammit! is a charming, yet slightly flawed coming of age story that will entertain some, and outrage others (Republicans, I'm looking at you.) Adam FilmPulse.net

Like any other Indie Teen Movie about Sex,"Turn Me On Dammit!" is a movie about a fifteen year old girl named Alma who's hormones are out of control and desperately wants to experience sex for the first time.Living in a very dull small Norwegian town, Alma can only daydream about Arthur (The guy at her school she crushes on) and make calls to phone sex lines just so she can pleasure herself. Basically, her life is very mono-sexual. At a party one night, Alma finds herself suddenly alone with Arthur, who out of nowhere ends up exposing himself to her and pokes her on her thigh with it. As she under reacts in her own way though still freaked out about it, Alma makes the mistake to run off and tell her "friend" who also secretly crushes on Arthur and out of jealousy ends up telling the entire school for her own benefit. As a result Alma becomes an outcast at school and no one would talk to her. To make matters worse her mother finds out about her phone sex calls and becomes aware of Alma's sexual frustration that is out of control. As Alma does her best to live life as best as she can life closes in on her as she struggles to deal with her new found solitude.This is a very funny and cool movie that I truly enjoyed watching. It has a great young cast, along with a very honest storyline. The cinematography is simple. The color palette on this film is superb which nicely paints a picture. Filled with an awesome score of eclectic acoustic tunes, this is truly a nice simple movie to chill out to. I personally wished it been a little longer but still works out for what it is.Overall, don't just watch this movie expecting just to see teen sex. You'll probably be somewhat disappointed if you do. This is a movie about a teenager coping with her sexual frustration at home and finding a way to deal with her public humiliation at the same time. Give it a chance, you might just enjoy yourself. 7 out of 10
