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.)

While I expected a good movie I didn't expect one that would work so well for grown-ups while also entertaining the kids at the cinema.
I don't want to spoil anything and the synopsis should give enough details.
The characters are quite flawed (except the hitman which is more cast as being desperate) and this creates a lot of room for humour.
This is one of those hilarious European films that necessarily will be remade and polished by Hollywood into something mildly entertaining - just like "En man som heter Ove"(2015) became "A man called Otto"(2023). Watch this one at your earliest opportunity to be able to say that the original was better.
