Kristoffer is a billboard hanger, 24 years old and carefree. When his girlfriend Elisabeth dumps him for the boss of her trend bureau, his life falls into pieces. He feels like a loser. By coincidence some of Kristoffer's video diaries end up with the producer of the popular talk show "Karsten Tonight" in TV2. A few weeks later Kristoffer's life has become TV entertainment. People love the sequences from his commune at Tøyen: Kristoffer's half-twisted view of his surroundings, his crazy best friend Geir, not to mention the weird web designer Stig Inge, who hasn't set foot outside the Tøyen shopping center for two years. Kristoffer's future again looks bright, everyone likes him, but revealing your life on national television comes with a price tag. As Kristoffer's future in the TV business looks brighter and brighter, his friends start suffering. Geir's big secret is revealed, and Stig Inge's personal problems are much more serious than Kristoffer first thought. It will cost him a great deal to win his friends back. Kristoffer knows what he wants, but does he have enough guts to follow his heart?

| Miami HeraldMarta BarberIt touches on a lot of different matters, yet you can't help having a good time watching it. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesTraditional and predictable ... you've seen this one before. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a well-intentioned yet frustratingly conventional piece of work. |
| User ReviewJess TBuddy. An inspiring, thought-provoking masterpiece. The movie Buddy is one of the best movies i've seen. Touching, emotional, romantic, funny. It made me laugh and cry. I went on the same rollercoaster of emotions as Kristoffer and his mates. I thouroughly enjoyed this movie and cant wait to see it again! |
| User ReviewRon GBrilliant. Somewhat fragile group of flat mates, who create deviations to avoid facing the emotional crux of life. Watch the interplay of each individuals fragmented emotional issues within their all-encompassing group relationship. Although somewhat predictable, one cannot help but be so emotionally invested in the characters. The payoff? Youâ??ll walk away feeling so happy. Like you want to applaud. Fills you with a positive feeling of life. I saw this film years ago, and have been looking to buy it ever since. If you have the chance to view it - do! |

| User ReviewVencka LThe best cure/cause (depending on one's mood prior to watching it) for/of homesickness a Norwegian in exile can get. Tøyensenteret, I love you! |
