Not offended

I am Norwegian and I read about this movie in a newspaper referencing the legendary X-Files episode with Norwegian talking. It delivered as expected and I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. The cringy German sounding Norwegians and the deadpan delivery of Norwegian clichés.At the same time, the research into Norwegian culture was pretty good and I liked the filming on location in Bergen.The overall story even worked quite well.While this may be a run of the mill Hallmark movie for everyone else it could easily become a cult movie in Norway.(The angry reviews from other Norwegians must be seen in the light of them taking the movie seriously in the first place.)

Better than the usual Hallmark movies, BUT

I read about this movie in a Norwegian newspaper while they were filming in Bergen, and got my hopes up because I thought they would do Norway right. They did not! The Christmas traditions is accurate, but why would they not use a single Norwegian actor when they were filming here? Everyone who was supposed to be Norwegian sounded German, their pronunciations were so bad it was very cringe to watch. The houses looked nothing like Norwegian houses, on the outside or inside. And finally it was less Christmasy than I would have thought and hoped, seeing as we usually have lots and lots of snow during Christmas. Should have been filmed during Christmas for real, and released next year instead. But as a Hallmark movie, the plot was good, and not as cliche as normal.

Horrible movie.

This one hurts to watch. I'm Norwegian and this was one of the worst attempts of pretending to be Norwegian I have ever seen. They should have used Norwegian actors and done better research on Norway. There are lots of great Norwegian actors that would have done a far better job, they would also speak better english than the actors in the movie.If there was any quality to this movie, them maybe I could have watched the whole thing. But I had too give up halfway.There is som much wrong here, I dont think any Norwegians wold give this more than one star.This was a just complete waste of time.
