It's not an in depth study of interracial relationships and how culture shocks shape the family dynamic, it's a Christmas comedy!
I feel people are reading way too much into it, have you ever seen Christmas movies? They are goofy, lighthearted, unrealistically happy and often poorly acted (which was actually not the case here).
Apparently this was based on the director's sister real life, and clearly a comedic and exaggerated approach to the struggle of becoming part of a family with such different life styles and traditions.
I'm neither Indian or Norwegian and people have the right to be offended, but if anyone watching believes that all Norwegian or Indians are like this, it's a problem with the audience and not with the movie.
Stereotypes have always been part of comedy, specially in a light hearted Christmas movie, people take stuff so seriously this days, it's really an unfair score.
I liked it, better than most Christmas movies that are made, it was a fun watch!

I don't watch Christmas movies expecting high quality but rather light hearted silly stories that match this season, this was dark..
I wasn't loving the movie, the main character is not likable and it doesn't help that the first act went on for too long. Plus the chemistry with her counterpart was really shady and not at all engaging.
But then again it's a Christmas movie and the actors are good so we kept watching, but that twist almost at the end took a really dark turn.
It just made the whole thing really depressive and to an extent sinister... it ceased to be a silly romantic Christmas movie just like that.
I don't know who sign off on that but it wasn't a fun movie at all...

We don't lack creativity, great actors and good productions, we lack finance support for our culture and lack of visibility for our own national projects!
This show is free to watch for anyone (at least in Portugal), you just download the RTP Play app and you watch it... isn't that amazing? To have such great content yet the amount of people that will never even hear of this show.. this is the sad part.
Porta Premium is a comedy show, a mockumentary with heavy inspiration from the Office that portrays in a hilarious fashion the reality of a local real estate office.
Filled with fun moments, amazing acting and of course the obvious criticism of the current housing reality of our country.
We need to provide visibility for our own great productions, we are missing on some great movies and TV not because we lack quality but because we are not even aware they exist.
