CGiii Comment

Terrible title...in either language.

And, this is most definitely not a comedy.

Geeky, chubby sexually inexperienced boy moves in with two womanizing boys (one rather ugly, one rather attractive: both very successful in the bedroom department) and learns how to emulate his peers...with disastrous (not funny), disturbing consequences. Spoiler: he rapes a girl.

If ever there was a misjudged film made - this is it. Deeply, deeply offensive and worrying...if this is how filmmakers want to depict young men-at-large...then, we really are in a sorry state.

The explicit nudity is unnecessary, the gay bar scene is a - surprising - revelation...

Certainly, it's a watchable film...but, the double standards on show will make your jaw drop.

Irresponsible and immature film-making...

The(ir) Blurb...

Christian leaves his hometown for Oslo to finish his studies, but moves in with two guys who turn out to be big-time pick up artists. Despite endless objections, Karl and Leo decide to give Christian a complete makeover, teaching him the tricks of their trade and changing him into the kind of guy girls want to sleep with. Crack, back and sack all need a shave, and everything he's been taught so far in life needs to be flushed out and reset. It's time for the razor-sharp truth about life.
