This movie is based off a Norwegian bestseller with the same title, and has not much to do with the bands history. It is more or lass meant to be watched by Norwegian audiences who, in their youth, discovered the amazing book. The movie does a decent job of capturing the magic that Saabye put into words, and should be watched as an incarnation of that book, nothing else.
I fear that much of the charm of the movie will be lost in translation to foreign audiences, and that does take a much away from the movie since it's supposed to make you feel nostalgic. But regardless, it is a good movie for all watchers to enjoy as it shows how it was like to be a teenager in those days, in a complimentary kind of way.
