Memorable, crazy movie
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Invaderbank
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Another mockumentary about a fictional music group. This one is set in Norway, which gives it some novelty--I liked seeing the scenes of them traveling and getting a feel for the different settings. And this was a mostly funny movie with some catchy original tunes.The problem for me is that is basically follows the same template as so many other fake documentaries, particularly music related ones. If you've seen Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind, you get the idea. If, like me, you also happen to have been lucky enough to see Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary, you might just be as underwhelmed as I was. Boyzvoiced was just a little tame in comparison.I gave a six because it did have a lot going for it. The subplot with the male fan who ends up on stage (saving the band's career in the process) worked well. However, a lot of the build-up (trouble in the studio, bad press, lack of talent) felt routine. The highlight might have been the charity event gone wrong when the band ended up assaulting some Shriners during a mall show.Overall, worth a watch, but I don't expect to give it any repeat viewings.

Back in 2000 a group of friends and I stumbled upon a cassette of the video "We are the Playmomen." For several weeks we debated whether it was for real or a put-on, but either way we laughed our asses off. I thought I would never get a chance to see the movie, but periodic searches over the years paid off.Jeez, it's funny.The music is catchy and fun. Espen Eckbo is so convincing in his multiple roles I actually went for a good part of the film without realizing the number of characters he was playing. Of note is his role as M'Pete. Eckbo convincingly portrays someone happy to be living his dream, but who suspects the bubble could burst at any moment. When it does, he displays a surprising depth of emotion. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a non-comedic role.For those of you who get a chance to see this film, lucky you.

the funniest movie i have ever seen. Without a doubt. I love the music videos, the diehard fan, M-Pete discussing his priorities ('First Mum, then the career, then dad, then my girlfriend... if she's really hot, she might come before dad') it is still funny everytime i watch it

Espen Eckbo has really outdone himself with this one. We've seen him on Mandagsklubben and "I Kveld med Thomas Giertsen". In this movie we meet his characters M'Pete,Ove Hoff etc. Its a year with boyzvoice, its hilarious. Now we all know Boyzvoice was only made for fun in Mandagsklubben with the song Library girl, but surprisingly enough every song they made become hits. Father Christmas,library girl, we are the playmo men etc. And they decided to make a comedy about it. I give it a 10!
