the funniest movie i have ever seen. Without a doubt. I love the music videos, the diehard fan, M-Pete discussing his priorities ('First Mum, then the career, then dad, then my girlfriend... if she's really hot, she might come before dad') it is still funny everytime i watch it
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.

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.

Back in 2000 a group of friends and I stumbled upon a cassette of the video "We are the Playmomen." For several weeks we debated whether it was for real or a put-on, but either way we laughed our asses off. I thought I would never get a chance to see the movie, but periodic searches over the years paid off.
Jeez, it's funny.
The music is catchy and fun. Espen Eckbo is so convincing in his multiple roles I actually went for a good part of the film without realizing the number of characters he was playing. Of note is his role as M'Pete. Eckbo convincingly portrays someone happy to be living his dream, but who suspects the bubble could burst at any moment. When it does, he displays a surprising depth of emotion. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a non-comedic role.
For those of you who get a chance to see this film, lucky you.

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!
