Norwegian (Scandahovian) humor is in a class all by itself. I suppose it helps if you understand the language.

Summary: 4 Stars
Having received a 2-month netflix subscription for Christmas, I stumbled upon this movie while browsing. I thought it sounded like it had potential, and it exceeded my expectations.
Elling and Kjell Barne are, essentially, 2 nice guys whom don't fit into the categories of "normalcy" which are arbitrarily foisted upon the world. Elling is as meek as it gets. Or is he? He doesn't understand the world, thus he's turned inward. Kjell is more of a displaced anger sort of guy. He doesn't understand the world either, but his inner world is not so rich as Elling's.
I rented this and another movie at the same time. The other did zero for me. Being a 3-hour movie, and having not stirred me into caring by the 2-hour mark, I took it out. In went Elling, and for the next hour-and-a-half I was loving my cinematic experience. Essentially a comedy, this movie is still brimming with heart. I love these characters.
The movie doesn't mock or make fun of these characters. It treats them with all the respect and humanity with which you or I would be afforded onscreen. It draws you into their lives and lets us see them as the people we all are.
