Simply A Masterpiece

Admirable film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

Great satire of the boy-band rage. Although in Norwegian, with English subtitles it is also very funny. The corny songs and vidoes in themselves make the movie worth seeing. Look out for more from Eckbo & Co. in the future!

A very funny movie. Ranks just below Spinal Tap. A lot of comedies have tried to make mockumentaries. However, none have made me laugh, with the exception of the two abovementioned movies. There are however some missed opportunities in this movies. It could have been even better. The scary thing, is that this movie is so close to the truth about these boy-bands.8 out of 10
