The pleasing acting jobs by the two protagonists makes all this sugar easier to swallow, but not enough to find this film anything more than a mere diversion.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 5, 2003

By maintaining a modest stance and a gentle, affectionate tone it emerges as winning rather than wearying.

Tedious Norwegian offering which somehow snagged an Oscar nomination.

It is a life-affirming tale devoid of sappiness or pretention.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 21, 2002

The moral is not too original, but the offbeat characters certainly are.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 20, 2002

The film's brand of humor seems a bit too broad, and the quirks of its main characters aren't really all that endearing, instead coming off as irritating and tiresome.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 20, 2002

A charming but slight comedy.
