As Norwegian with Indian girlfriend watched this movie and found it hillerious both of us. I relly relate to the "Its christmas" statement. And from my point of view many Norwegians behaves like this st christmas times. Everything has to be as its always been. And my Indian girlfriend related with the Indian main character for being to loud in an norwegian setting. I feel like this wasnt about racism it was about cultural differences and gow difficult it can be atleast in big events as christmas. Even tho the storyline wassnt the best i still find it really funny and i recommend watching it.

Funny view on culture crash between Norway and the outside world. Remember that there are only 5 million Norwegians, and Jul and May 17 are days where we are focused on our traditions. Our ways are a bit strange. Jashan is representing the outside world. Nothing to do with his nationality specifically. As a Norwegian I felt this made me think of how hung up we are on our traditions. 25% of our population migrated to USA in the late 1800s. For those left it was a crisis and the national romanticism started in Norway. Bunad, Jul tradition and more were important when rebuilding our nation's self esteem.

Yes, you read that right. It is entertaining, funny, embarrasing aswell as slightly emotional at one point. Sure, I get some of the other reviews, and how it could be a little controversal to a certain group of people, however, I feel like they showed it perfectly fine in a non-problematic way. People forget that, this movie is still made for a younger audience and usually, all family movies are pretty stereo-typical at points. I think alot of the reviews are biast, as the controversal bits are on the same level as in other movies, who have great reviews. Give this movie a chance, and have a merry christmas! :)

Quite a story I have to say. You can tell they have put effort into making this movie just feel Christmasy with the well decorated sets. Plot even though recycled had a touch or originality. The cinematography is beautiful as well as the acting by the cast members. Dialogues could have been a tad better, yet the movie has you get happy, cringe and excited alongside the characters. The character development is fresh as well as the tempo set around the likability factor of each character. There is growth and realisation, all great formulas for a great plot. All added, definitely an addition to my Christmas list.

I'm in chock. I have so many questions. This makes me never wanna visit Norway or have Norwegian friends. Have they never meet people from other cultures? What's the point portraying cultures this way? Mixing loss of a family member with cultures clashing? How is the plot relevant for a Christmas movie? Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time watching this. The scenery is really beautiful thou. There are a lot of nice details and funny moments BUT so many things are weird. The main character is so unlikeable!! She doesn't bring anything to the plot except for wierd actions and reactions.
