Amateur movie with Big budget
Brendon Jones
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Set in Norway, a 15-year old girl, Anna, is growing up. Most particularly, her hormones and day-dreaming abilities are in overdrive. She fantasizes about nearly every boy or man she sees, with interesting results.Despite its subject matter, movie is actually quite sweet and innocent, to a degree. Quite light-hearted and sometimes quite funny. However, in being so light-hearted, it fails to make a profound point at the end, so ends up not funny enough to be a comedy, and not profound enough to be a drama.Good performances all round, especially from Helene Bergstrom in the lead role.

let me start off by saying that i really enjoyed the movie. it centers around a 15 year old girl who is discovering her sexuality and fantasizes about having sex and experimenting. even though the subject matter is about sex it is done very tastefully and did not feel cheap, sleazy or pervy in any way. the movie revolves around an incident at a party were a boy she has a crush on pokes her in the leg with his penis. he denies it and she gets shunned by her class and becomes a social pariah. the movie seemed fairly short but it really is an example of quality over quantity. If anyone has seen the movie "the Hunt" with mads mikkelsen this movie gave me a very similar feeling. You empathize with Alma and you cant help but relate to the feeling of being "horny" and the madness that ensues when you just have all those built up hormones. Everyone can relate to the "trying to lose your virginity mind-state". Really good movie, i hope that you give it a chance, because i'm glad i did.

Let's face it, horny teenager movies are a dime a dozen. Don't get me wrong, I love them but when you pay to see one you know exactly what to expect: a formula plot about a bunch of high school misfits who start off the film unlucky in love, but through a series of often contrived incidents they all manage to 'score' by the end of the movie, humiliate the school bully and earn the respects of their peers. A great tale, but starting to get a little dog-eared.How interesting then to get this quaint little film that subverts the story in innumerable ways. A lot of people misunderstand the sheer brilliance of this film, and assume that the fact that it inverts the genders of the characters, by making the female the lead, is what makes the film unique. That's not true in the slightest, by inverting the genders the film shows us that men and women are more alike than we might realise. Girls are not strange creatures from another planet, they just sometimes seem that way - which this film sets out to debunk.At times funny, poignant and even sad, this film here is a beautiful poignant tale about growing up, and what makes it even more subversive is that it has the nerve to pretend to be a sex comedy. You can take the comedy out of the sex, but not vice versa, which this film powerfully demonstrates. Don't go in expecting American Pie, but rather American Pie meets American Beauty, with a bit of American Graffiti thrown in, all given a delicious Norwegian blend! Bon appetit!

Alma is a high school girl in this offbeat comedy from Norway. It is apparent from the opening scene where the lead is on the floor next to a phone masturbating that this is very different from most teen films. Mom comes home and Alma hangs up from the sex hot line. She later explains the phone bill, telling her mother that she is horny; this is obviously told from a woman's perspective, the director is Jannicke Systad Jacobsen.Alma becomes a social outcast after accusing Artur, a classmate, of exposing himself and poking her in the thigh. His denials are believed and she escapes reality through fantasy, sexual and otherwise. even her best friends, Sara and Ingrid, doubt her story.Helene Bergsholm is very likable in the lead role as Alma but I didn't laugh much and the premise wears thin quickly.
