This must be one of the best movies that has been produced in Norway for a long, long time. Norwegian movies have had a big lift-up the last couple of years and "Buddy" is the proof of it. The movie is about three guys living together. Two of them, Kristoffer and Geir, are making a sort of video diary, where they do different stuff, like jumping out of windows in to big trash cans. This they "break into" TV2 (major Norwegian TV-Channel) to do. They get discovered and make a run for it. Kristoffer stumbles and drop a bunch of his tapes. A show-host sees one of these tapes and thinks it would be great mini to have in his show. He contacts the guys and the main story begins. In addition there's alot about Kristoffer's love life, Geir's problem with the fact (a fact he keeps hidden from everyone else) that he has a child with a girl he went to school with and the third roommate, Stig Inge, who has some problems leaving the immediate area around the flat.
When I first saw the trailer to the movie I thought it was just another lousy Norwegian film. But I changed my mind after my school went to see it. It may have many cliches(?), but it something about it that makes you look around them and truly enjoy the movie. It is indeed a great movie. You should see it.
