Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOften compared to "The Full Monty" and "Hangover" these films are adored by the heartland and true fans see them multiple times. They end up quoting parts of the movie word for word. The franchise started as a commercial where the message "NO-WAR" was very timely and the ad became a world wide hit, and thus the characters became famous. Hence the initiative to make a movie. Long Flat Balls 1. When that movie broke all records it was easy to make a second which was an even bigger success with Don Johnson starring. It took 13 years and a lot of public demand before the 3rd one was made.

Featured review
A true image of Norwegian football-fans
Norwegian movies have never been something outstanding. Our Swedish and Danish neighbours have always been way ahead of us. We only have a handful of good actors and actresses, and they have been way overused. That's why it is such a delight to see some new faces in a Norwegian film, even though it is about football/soccer (which I hate), and the guys are middle-aged overweight grey-haired men with one of the weirdest accents in the whole damn country. The movie doesn't break any boundaries. Hell, it doesn't even reach for the boundaries. The actors aren't good actors, they are actually regular football fans just the way they appear in the movie. But, I must say, this movie was very enjoyable - I laughed through most of the movie, and the end made me feel patriotic even though I hate football/soccer and don't even celebrate on May 17th, our constitution day. On scale from 1 to 10 for Norwegian films; I'd give it a 8.5. Internationally: Sorry, but I can't give it more than a 5. Watch the movie. Enjoy it! :)
