Good story and nice shots of Oslo
7 October 2005
Oslo looks real good in this movie, the photographer gathered all good shots with the right angles and getting the not so nice bits out of focus as appropriate.

Also its a good story, you feel for poor Elling through all his lies and his 'snobbery'. When he meets a girl in a hot dog stand he likes, he lies to her to attract her interest about having been abducted by aliens while hunting in the wilderness.

The humour is 'grown up' without losing appeal for an younger audience.

Per Christian Ellefsen is very good as Elling here, I cant comment on the first film in the trilogy as I haven't seen it, but in 'Mors Elling' he came through quite annoying.
