It's said that if one has only a few words to say, don't try to be a movie director. This comes to my mind while trying to watch movies made by this director. It's not an issue if you happen to have 8.5 million euros to waste, it can be compensated with a professionalism but it won't cover the truth that one could have made a masterpiece with that money. Of course one should have more words to say.
The movie itself is very childish, made for early teenagers as a target audience and obviously it did well because that age group is just discovering cinema and are more active.
Of course the film looked good, The middle european Alps substituted the landscape of Lapland, scenery can look just great but geographically erratic. The english speaking actors did a great job anyway. In overall the film has nothing to offer for anyone over 20 and is just a huge mess. It can be a great film to analyze though. It only shows that if one has the money, one can do anything.
