Trailer here

The highest grossing movie in 2007 was a movie about a bunch of roleplayers (and a Paris Hilton type character forced to work with them once her boyfriend was put in prison).

My reaction: wat

Iceland just scored some serious geek cred.

Is it coming to us ignorant United Statesians (Americans technically includes everyone on the western part of the map)?

I feel a great disturbance in the Force...

And that it will become a "must have" in many DVD collections.

Sadly enough I found it only to be a mediocre film. It was very predictable, no originality at all. But it was still funny and entertaining and had some small roleplay inside jokes. But everybody here seems to love it and find it strange that I don't love it more then them as a roleplayer.

Seems like the camera and lighting quality were both oddly low for the highest grossing movie in the nation. Was this a low-budget movie that surprised everyone, or... ?

Remember, Iceland has no Hollywood, so not a whole lot of fancy fwoosh and flash computered in.

From what it appears, it looks like the kind of movie that I would definately enjoy watching, though I wouldn't really want to go to the theater for it. (Then again, if I got it on DVD, I could watch it more than once for all the more enjoyment!)
