...erm... "cheaper or better" than <a href="http://192.38.242.50/dvdoo/showpic.asp?PicID=20507">this version</a>...?...

. . . :o . . .

THANKS HENDRIK!!

Thats about $14 in US dollars. But I wonder if there are any versions amongst the world with more features.

...ahm... nothing against Norwegian comedy films... BUT... truthfully now: how much interest would there be - worldwide - for a Norwegian comedy film...?...

. . . :o . . .

...otoh... I found this fairly glowing <a href="http://www.thejournalnews.com/theline/movieline/archive/05290215849.htm">review</a> of the film - which was even up for a 'best foreign movie' Oscar, last year... just goes to show: whaddahell do I know?!

...and btw: the Danish DVD-Basen site only has the one ('Scandinavian') DVD listed (which has optional Finnish, Danish, Swedish, and English subtitles)... this Swedish <a href="http://www.dvdforum.nu/recensioner/visarecension.asp?id=1162">review</a> of that disc calls the movie a "Norwegian Rain Man"...

...and so it goes...

I might just pick this one up....I dont have that many Norwegian movies.....

...offhand, I can think of only one: "Insomnia" (the CC version) - and that was a Norwegian-Swedish co-production...

Probably about the same interest as a Danish horror TV miniseries. Who would want to watch one of those? ;)

The US release has only a trailer I believe but the film itself is very funny with great performances by the leads.

I dont think the US release is even widescreen, while the Universal release at dvddoo looks to be so.
