As a fan of foreign cinema, I saw this film screened on the multicultural station SBS. I would have to say that this is a humorous view into the life of a Scandinavian boy band. A documentary crew follows the members of the band throughout their career. From in-store appearances to performing in a live awards show in front of a nationwide audience, nothing seems to go exactly as planned. The characters are portrayed brilliantly and are very much true to life. The film also depicts the popularity of the pop music industry in Scandinavia at the time of filming where pop bands such as Aqua were prevalent. If you ever come across this film it is definitely worth watching. Norwegians aren't well known for their comedy but this is a top effort from the Norwegians which will have you in stitches.
I saw this film purely by chance one night while flicking channels. I saw the advertisment on SBS so I decided to watch it and boy am I glad it did! The movie was creative and the songs were truly hi-larious. Great film for a good laugh - as long as you don't mind sub-titles.8/10!
Given that im totally annoyed by boybands and a big fan of Spinal Tap I really wanted to love this movie when our local station advertised it as "Spinal Tap meets Back street boys". My only dissapoinment is that I hadn't discovered this earlier. It is hysterically funny in every way, and like ST needs a rewatch to appreciate the finner moments. Funniest bits iclude the first song (the "cousin" one), the diehard teenage boy fan (every scene he's in), and M'Pete talking about his Bond theme dream.Finally boy bands get the credibility they deserve..hehe.
Anyone who despises boybands will love this movie! It's a mockumentary following a boyband called Boyzvoice (consisting of MPete, Hot Tub and Roar) on tour. All sorts of things that come along with being in a boyband happen, including a shocking "secret."One of the most memorable characters is their biggest fan, Ove, who takes a huge risk writing a report on his favourite group for school and almost gets trampled to death at a shopping mall performance. His naivete is just too funny, as are Boyzvoice's music videos. They're all in English, save for the "Latin" dance song that most boybands have. Hilarious lyrics, some on the naughty side, but never repulsive.
