Turn Me On, Dammit 2011


Product Details     Based on a novel by Olaug Nilssen and filmed in Skoddeheimen, Norway.  Alma is a 15-year-old girl and she goes to a party with her two friends.  Even though they are under the drinking age, they manage to get someone to buy beer for them before the party.  Alma likes Artur, they see each other at the party and they go outside together.  Alma goes back in and blurts out something about Artur.  What she said gets passed around to almost everyone in town.  Alma becomes the most unpopular person at her school.  Only one friend will talk to her and only if no one else sees them talking.
     This film is very narrow scope and there are probably some cultural differences between Norway and America?  I don’t think this is funny either and more suited to teens?  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

76 min, Comedy directed by Janicke Systad Jacobsen with Helene Bergsholm, Malin Bjorhovde, Beate Stofring, Matias Myren.

Note:  Imdb 6.2 out of 10, 93% critic 67% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
