Lange flate ballær

Hehehe. This was one of the best funny road movies ever! I laughed so I fell out of the chair. With many Norwegian and foreign celebrities playing themselves. Harald Zwart is the producer, known for films like Agent Cody banks and of course One Night at McCool's.

It is about Norwegian crazy fans, going to the world cup in Soccer in Germany 2006. And all sort of crazy fun that comes with it. It was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. I haven't had so much fun in ages. Rumors say it will come a number two, but I do not know. It will be hard beating this one.

recommended to everyone! It is a must see film. I was suppose to see it at the cinema, but I had work at the times it where shown. And been trying to rent it for a month, but all the time rented out. Got it today on DVD. Well worth it.

On the Path of Success A popular Norwegian comedy about a group of colleagues from a small, bankrupt neighborhood garage, who embark on the adventure of following the Norwegian national football team at the 2006 world cup in Germany.

This small group of fanatics, potbellied, alcoholics, dysfunctional, head towards Germany in an old van, which will lead them to an unexpected international success and fame, and to the fulfillment of all their dreams and ambitions.

An unpretentious but well-produced fable, with an argument that, despite being simple and predictable, has some amusing situations.

Long Flat Balls is a feel good comedy from Norway that moves along quickly, delivers laughs, and lets you enjoy your time with a fun group of familiar and entertaining characters. When garage owner Ed is faced with mounting debts and he risks losing everything, he marshals his beloved pack of rumpled oddball pals to travel with him on a final ragged road-trip across Europe to support Team Norway in the hugely-important World Cup Soccer matches. As they travel together packed in a van, they deal with the comic complications of long simmering personal feuds, the difficulties of aging and responsibility, romantic awakening and experimentation, and their collective obsessive passion for Norway's soccer team. Combining good-nature humor and elements of farce, Long Flat Balls is a charming film similar in style to the Full Monty, and it delivers a satisfying and uplifting ending that'll make you laugh and cheer for the good guys.

I am a huge fan of Harald Zwart, and I just knew that I had to see this movie, even though I can't say I'm a soccer fan. But watching this just filled my heart with joy, and I had a great time in the movies watching it.

Bjørn Fast Nagell does a tremendous job directing this movie, and even though you notice the main characters are new at acting, they grow with the movie and makes it what it is. Even though it is supposed to be a soccer movie, there is surprisingly little soccer in it. The whole idea is to show the six guys making up the word N O R W A Y on their trip to the World Cup in soccer playing in Germany this year.

If you're only gonna see one Norwegian movie this year, this is the one..

Norwegian movies have never been something outstanding. Our Swedish and Danish neighbours have always been way ahead of us. We only have a handful of good actors and actresses, and they have been way overused. That's why it is such a delight to see some new faces in a Norwegian film, even though it is about football/soccer (which I hate), and the guys are middle-aged overweight grey-haired men with one of the weirdest accents in the whole damn country. The movie doesn't break any boundaries. Hell, it doesn't even reach for the boundaries. The actors aren't good actors, they are actually regular football fans just the way they appear in the movie. But, I must say, this movie was very enjoyable - I laughed through most of the movie, and the end made me feel patriotic even though I hate football/soccer and don't even celebrate on May 17th, our constitution day. On scale from 1 to 10 for Norwegian films; I'd give it a 8.5. Internationally: Sorry, but I can't give it more than a 5. Watch the movie. Enjoy it! :)
