Lange flate ballær

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..

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.

This movie is actually so poor in its desperate attempts at being "feel good" and casual it really made me embarrassed watching it. I can't imagine how the inner circle of Norwegian celebs and press must have felt trying to pretend to like it at the star-packed premiere. Its great media reviews is a sickening example of how ridiculously small and inbred the Norwegian media scene is. Had a foreign film of this quality reached the silver screen it would have gotten the rain of rotten tomatoes it truly deserves.

The combination of literally amateur actors, home-made style visual effects, awkward dialogue, painfully idle attempts at working class humour and the overly cozy and meaningless plot, really makes this a movie of rock bottom quality. Stay away.

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.

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.
