I really liked this film. It reminded me of Four Weddings and a Funeral with the ensemble cast and gentle comedy/drama genre that involves friends and lovers, misunderstandings and miscommunications. The actors are pretty believable in their roles and the characters stay with you even after the film has ended. Kristopher (Nicolai Cleve Broch) keeps a video diary of silly, goofy exploits that he and his friend Geir (Aksel Hennie) perform while tooling around town in between hanging up billboard signs. They are twenty-something and carefree until love and other commitments vie for their attention. Kristopher is well meaning and sometimes finds it difficult to navigate his life. The two friends decide to move in with Stig Inge (Anders Baasmo Christiansen). They barely know Stig but as one of them puts it, the "rent is cheap". They end up becoming very chummy with their new roommate and when Stig offers a room for rent to another new roommate, Henriette (Pia Tjelta) they become chummy with her too. Kristopher is unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend at the beginning of the film. He is very hurt by this but she continually gives him the brush off whenever he tries to reconcile the relationship. During one particular dangerous escapade around town, Kristopher drops some of his video tapes while being chased by a security guard... and then the fun begins.
It was nice to see how people in other countries live. And it was nice to see how other countries look as well. I thought it showed how we are all alike in some ways; probably more alike than not. In the vast expanse of the universe, we all inhabit the same blue planet and we really do have common basic needs like love, life, and laughter. Buddy is a very heart warming movie with good character development. Definitely see it if you can.
