This outrageously funny comedy from Norway is served best, black and with drugs. A triumph for writer and director Bård Breien on his feature debut. It's an original and fresh comedy about a group of happy handicapped people who travel to convert another potential member, the depressed Geirr who has drowned himself in drugs, alcohol and the music of Johnny Cash. However the group and Geirr's wife underestimate him when demonstrates his art of negative thinking that unravels each of them and changes their lives. This film shows that being psychologically handicapped is far worse than physically. Intelligent comedies are a rare breed and this is as good as it gets. YRCinema's coverage of AFI Fest 2007.
