I am Norwegian and I read about this movie in a newspaper referencing the legendary X-Files episode with Norwegian talking. It delivered as expected and I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. The cringy German sounding Norwegians and the deadpan delivery of Norwegian clichés.
At the same time, the research into Norwegian culture was pretty good and I liked the filming on location in Bergen.
The overall story even worked quite well.
While this may be a run of the mill Hallmark movie for everyone else it could easily become a cult movie in Norway.
(The angry reviews from other Norwegians must be seen in the light of them taking the movie seriously in the first place.)
