One Family (1995) User Reviews

The story is the winner

[sjon1 · 8/10 · 8 January 2001]

This little movie from maverick film-maker Sigmarsson beats most big-budget comedies on the strength of it's simple story. Somehow the lack of money, equipment, professionalism, and what not, underlines the situation of it's poor hero who becomes the father of five in one go at the city hospital's maternity ward.

Excellent piece of s***

Johann Sigmarsson the director of this film is Iceland's answer to Roger Corman, he churns out brilliant s*** like this at the click of his finger. This is his masterpiece, horrible acted and with no plot whatsoever. It's shot on left-over film stock and it took him 2 years to complete, something that should take other less talented directors a weekend to shoot. It's about a guy that gets five girls pregnant and they all have his babies at the same time, while his dog is also having puppies. Brilliant. Everybody that acts in this film is well underrated and deservedly so.
