How dreams come true

When I first zapped in the middle of this film on the film channel I had no clue what the title was about. That was clear fast enough, but though I really have mostly antipathy for football and all around it, it caught my attention. Funny, really funny, nice cast, nice story. I saw it back on a second turning, and then it was clear to me: Norvegian film industry made at least one I would like to see again. Dreams shattered in an environment where there is nothing else to do with them; but then friendship, self-reflection and a good dose of luck bring the main character to a very acceptable end. Emotions are well enough defined to get moved by them, and then funny situations enough to keep you informed you're watching a comedy.

OK, the end is (partly) predictable, but even there was that tiny snatch that gave a wide grin.

An OK romantic comedy

This romantic comedy isn't too bad. There are some funny things happening here and there, and there are some rather memorable characters in it.

The acting, however, is amateurish (with the exception of the banker). While some scenes are great fun, others are simply embarrassing. In particular, I found the "romantic" part of the story poor.

All in all, I guess it's worth seeing if you like football and romantic comedies. It's not really a bad movie, and the ending did feel quite good. Just don't expect anything out of the ordinary. Fair enough if you have an hour and a quarter to kill.

Crapmovie

This norwegian movie is so crap, the actors can not act cause they seems to be reading from a book and the story is so (wannabe) hollywood..the only actor who did a ok job was Haavard Lilleheie..3/10 If you want a really good norwegian movie watch Buddy, great actors and a feelgood story 9/10

The best film I've seen this year!

I watched this film on the cinema without any expectations.

When I came out of the cinema, wow. It was really good ! Even tho I hate soccer :)

The film is mostly funny, but it will also catch your emotions. I think the acting is quite professional, even if there's some new actors. This movie really got a story, and a very good one. It's not complex, which is very positive in this genre. The music matches perfectly, and is very good indeed!

Go watch this movie!

I gave it 10/10 - Seldom quality.

Not for soccer-fans only

As I have learned, you either love or hate Manchester United, or you have no interest in soccer whatsoever. If you hate Man. U. from the bottom of your heart "United" might be hard to swallow. But if you love them (or at least hold no grudge) you're gonna enjoy this flick. The acting is charmingly semi-good, and the story is enjoyable in all it's simplicity.

And for those of you who couldn't care less about soccer, it doesn't matter. It's like not watching The Lord of the Rings because you're not a ringmaker.

Trivia
Arne Scheie, playing the narrator, is actually one of Norway's most beloved sports commentators.

Goofs
In the beginning of the movie, when the narrator says, "This is Old Trafford," (home of Manchester United), a picture of Wembley (a different football stadium, in London) is shown.

Quotes
Iversen: Aaw, come on! Don't you realize Anna's the third most beautiful woman on earth? She looks a bit like a girl I saw on in a film once. I acually passed out when I saw that film. But then again... I always do when I see naked women.
