A tightly packed little snowball of a comedy that picks up steam as it rolls along.

Everything about this Icelandic sitcom comedy seemed off kilter.

It's a strange and distant tale that would only appear on Jerry Springer in America but comes off as quirky and cute when presented from the cold Nordic perspective.
