5.0 out of 5 stars Dumb and Dumber July 19 2004
By P. Dupree
Format:DVD
I recently rented this movie, and I must admit that I only took it home because of the incredibly funny cover. However, I was surprised to find out that the actual film was as funny as the artwork on the outside. It is about Elling, a recluse who has spent a majority of his life hiding in his apartment alongside his mother. After she dies, he is taken to live in a state-run institution, where he meets Kjell Barnes. Kjell, has lived in institutions most of his life and is obsessed with food and sex. They are released together to their own apartment and freedom where the movie really begins to take form. Nominated for best Foreign Film in 2002 by the Academy Awards, this comedy will keep you laughing and feeling lucky that you are not an Elling or Kjell Barnes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely charmed me. Still smiling Feb 23 2004
By Mr. Christopher L. Cox
Format:DVD
This minor gem was made in Norway and was nominated for best foreign film last year at the Oscars. I had forgotten to check it out, but thanks to my friend Rosanne, I did. "Elling" is one of those 'charming' comedies about the mentally ill. That said, it works really well thanks to clever dialogue and wonderful acting from the title character, especially. See, these two guys are released to a welfare apartment from the psychological hospital and have to deal with starting a normal life, or they must return. Sweet bumblings ensue. Great movie to watch with your parents that you'll all enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Feb 12 2004
By E. Laway
Format:DVD
So simply told without pretense or intensions, "Elling" is a sweet movie bound to tug at any sensitive soul's heart strings. You can sum it up in a few sentences, "It's two guys in an apartment." "This movie makes you want to move to Norway," and "It's about a couple of very likeable characters." I love listening to the language and watching the city of Oslo. I hope that people in Norway are really this nice and that they really do care for their their indigent and psychiatric population like in this movie. As far as the movie, I was most impress with the two lead actors. They played their characters to a perfect pitch. Their isn't much to the plot, no antagonist, no spine tingling conflict or surypy hollywood resolution. It's just about people trying their best to live a normal life the way they know how. I also liked the soundtrack, I wonder where I can find the CD? You gotta love this movie. Makes you feel good.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you watch one movie before you die, make it this one.
(and that's saying something, because I am a diehard original star wars fiend.)

not that this movie has any relation to star wars; far from it.

Elling is an amazing movie. Read more
