Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced

Great satire of the boy-band rage. Although in Norwegian, with English subtitles it is also very funny. The corny songs and vidoes in themselves make the movie worth seeing. Look out for more from Eckbo & Co. in the future!

A very funny movie. Ranks just below Spinal Tap. A lot of comedies have tried to make mockumentaries. However, none have made me laugh, with the exception of the two abovementioned movies. There are however some missed opportunities in this movies. It could have been even better. The scary thing, is that this movie is so close to the truth about these boy-bands.

8 out of 10

Given that im totally annoyed by boybands and a big fan of Spinal Tap I really wanted to love this movie when our local station advertised it as "Spinal Tap meets Back street boys". My only dissapoinment is that I hadn't discovered this earlier. It is hysterically funny in every way, and like ST needs a rewatch to appreciate the finner moments. Funniest bits iclude the first song (the "cousin" one), the diehard teenage boy fan (every scene he's in), and M'Pete talking about his Bond theme dream.

Finally boy bands get the credibility they deserve..hehe.

This is an unexpected gem. I watched this movie late one night on SBS (a foreign language free to air channel in Australia) and was drawn into it almost immediately. Even reading this movie with subtitles doesn't seem to detract from the hilarity. Ove is hilarious! This is much funnier than Spinal Tap, and essentially makes that movie obsolete.This movie contains a number of video clips of varying degrees of humor, some of them side-splitting. In a world of boy-bands and girl-bands that are essentially self-parodies, it is amazing that this movie still manages to be so funny. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates witty satirical humor such as the office, or the simpsons. Also, any fan of Spinal Tap should check this out.

Outstanding Norwegian mockumentary which satirizes the burgeoning boy-band phenomenon around the turn of the millennium with warmth and passion. The star of the show is the brilliant Norwegian comedian Espen Eckbo, who is co-director, co-writer and plays several parts, including the lead as Boyzvoice front man M'Pete in addition to the band's biggest fan, 14-year-old Ove. Eckbo's unabrasive but still razor-sharp satire is an art in itself, and his talent for physical comedy, characterizations and line-delivery makes Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced an exquisite, timeless viewing experience which has stood (and will continue to stand) the test of time remarkably well. The film is still to the point in so many ways. The catchy songs and hilarious lyrics were written by Jens Thoresen and Eckbo/Elvestad, respectively. And M'Pete and Hot Tub (Øyvind Thoen) actually do much of the singing themselves, contrary to what is claimed in the narrative. Although that superb James Bond song at the end was actually sung by Morten Harket of A-ha.
