Reviews indicate this high-concept, lightly entertaining pic already continues to be regarded as as material with an American remake, nevertheless it could find its own appreciative aud in offshore areas with sufficiently savvy marketing. After locating the flagrant infidelity of his live-in girlfriend, Glenn (Henrik Thodesen), an affable vidstore clerk, moves using their apartment and sinks in to a dark blue funk. Wanting to cheer him up, his more rambunctious pals, introduced with the persistantly smart-alecky Philip (Odd-Magnus Williamson, in "Meatballs"-era Bill Murray mode), encourage Glenn to get into a web page from Takashi Miike and hold auditions with an imaginary movie, with the expectation of landing, otherwise a completely new love, then some easy sex. Complications arise when Glenn instantly falls for one of the auditioners, Linda (Marte Germaine Christensen), and promises her a lead role using what he unwisely promises will probably be popular fantasy adventure. (Think "Our god in the Rings" around the "Plan 9 From SpaceInch budget.) The problem here's, despite Linda's well-do-to mother onboard just like a quiet investor, Glenn and also the pals take time and effort pressed to actually to produce the epic -- or any other pic -- especially after they blow a lot of the budget on pre-production chilling out. Since the would-be filmmakers proceed around the frazzled-shoestring budget, getting in credulous collaborators and anxiously disguising their lack of skill, "You Mentioned What?" frequently recalls the higher frantic improvisations in the title character in Tim Burton's "Erection dysfunction Wood." And since the self-kidding schlockmeister of Burton's pic relied round the collaboration from the aged Bela Lugosi, the faux auteurs here wager everything on settling single-day cameo by Peter Stormare to produce their slapdash project a bit more marketable. Filmmakers Robsam and Syversen artfully juggle a diversity of tones and feelings while playing mostly everything for laughs, even fine-tuning the romance this is the soft center from the pic getting a soundtrack of wonderfully cheesy '70s and eighties pop hits. You will discover darkly comic touches, and a few gags that, in this context, appear almost subversively perverse. There's however anything amusing in comparison to gleefully crazy scene through which the sport Stormare looks after a straight face together with a menacing attitude while carefully balancing themselves atop a papier-mache dragon and snarling, "I am the King of Darkness!" Tech credits overall are much better than are available in the film within the film.Camera (color, HD), Havard Andre Byrkjeland editor, Syversen music, Gaute Tonder production designer, Liv Request costume designer, Linn Henriksen appear, Hakon Lammetun assistant director, Jonas Viken Oby.
