This is a funny film with all the emotions involved. It starts out funny and also makes us sad. If you understand that everything is fiction and not that the film presents an exact time or any family, you will like the film very much.

I would say that it is a nice feel good movie!

Uncle ji visiting makes the movie really worth watching.

How uncle perceives Norway and its positive sides and does not want to leave Norway after that, very good concept!

We also renew our view of people who are different and are left with more acceptance and respect.

It teaches us that people who are different go through more than we see, and so do their families.

The only negative is that much is simplified in this film, much more emotion could be built. The book is far better.

On the surface this is a comedy about Mahmoud who is growing up in Oslo as a boy of Pakistani parents. The first part of the movie works very well by showing the differences between Norway and Pakistan in a light hearted way. For a comedy the characters are also quite complex. The uncle who visits from Pakistan is a good opportunity to dig more into the differences. Jokes are hitting in every direction so this works quite well.

Mahmoud's younger brother Ali then appears to be identifying as a girl and this changes the movie from a comedy that hits in every direction to a very one directional movie. Their father is raging while even uncle Ji becomes very understanding.

So, we can all see where this story is going which flattened an otherwise good movie.
