Mother’s Elling ( Mors Elling ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2]

by Euroman on January 29, 2010

SYNOPSIS: Everyone who’s seen the successful movie “Elling” (2000) probably remembers that Elling was a bit… attached to his late motherMother's Elling (DVD) (to put it mildly). “Mors Elling” is based on one of author Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s books written before “Brødre i blodet” (the basis for “Elling”).

It tells the story of Elling, living with his mom in downtown Oslo. She knows she won’t be around for ever and in an effort to get him out in the world, and help him stand on his own two feet, she buys tickets for them both for a trip to sunny Spain!

What follows is a series of mishaps as we tag along with Elling through situations he’s never been in before. Riding on an airplane, on the beach surrounded with topless women, the Spanish nightlife, befriending the Norwegian woman in the neighbouring hotel-room, etc. It is at times funny but never as light-hearted as the original movie. Here there is more emphasis on the seriousness of Elling’s condition, and we rarely find ourselves laughing like we did with the first movie.
