Iceland has been making pretty good movies over the last couple of years. 101 Reykjavik, the Icelandic dream, and of course, Angels of the Universe...
But before that, all we really had was this... My favourite Icelandic movie!!! The dialog was both incredibly stupid and hilarious, yet somehow believable. I especially liked the three mobster wannabes: "Unnur... Unnur... mmm"
Well, I guess you have to be from Iceland to find it as funny as I did... Much of the dialog is almost impossible to translate.

After reading the reviews this movie is getting, I see that it is just another example of how culturally bankrupt our society has become.
Didn't you see everything coming a mile away!? I haven't seen so many cliche's and lame tries to make you really ...feel ...something, since 'Rudy'. A very good example is the scene where they are playing basketball, and Max holds Freak on his shoulders, allowing him to dunk. Gawk!
But many thanks to Gillian Anderson for her extremely unconvincing and funny acting as some southern tramp. The only light point of the film.
So in summation: Yet another lame movie which message is that you shouldn't discriminate against people that are different. A good message, but since I already knew that, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe-size.
