The feeling of an amateur movie
20 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie, about the best friends Tina and Bettina, the most popular girls at school, who are challenged when a new girl starts in school, gets popular, and gives a party at the same evening as the best friends, is a very weak movie.

It's clear that it's supposed to be a very simple story with a simple comedy, but it just seemed like a messy production. It didn't feel that well planned. What came first into my mind was that the whole style and the tone of this movie looked like a TV commercial. It didn't really settle a proper tone visually, I think.

The script was ok. It was funny sometimes, but it often got too much with the "funny" words. The words just flowed out of their mouths with the lack of meaning and depth.

The technical aspects were weak, and it often felt like an amateur movie. Sometimes the camera techniques were done wrong in general, which no professional production should do, for example the toilet scene with Bettina and Synøve Risnes. A common dialogue scene is supposed be executed where the characters look like they look at each other. But in this movie they both looked left, so to us, as an audience, it looked like they talked to the walls, and not each other.

The story was nothing new. The storyline had a potential, though, but it was all just a rush. Some of the reasons were that the scenes were often cut at the wrong time - often too short.

Odd-Magnus Williamson (as Tina), Henrik Thodesen (as Bettina) and Else Kåss Furuseth (as Sigrund Munthe Foss) did okay with their performances, but Triana Iglesias (as Synøve Risnes) and the rest of the actors were not good.

The only positive things I can say about this are that the main actors did okay, and that the movie was funny sometimes. Otherwise, this movie had a very weak production.
