i seriously do not know how to describe this movie . i will start with my obvious statement and that i be not necessarily a big fan of musical ( quite the contrary ) and while i will write that i also do not enjoy sound of music a much and i be aware that some or many will dislike my comment here . but it not a much about other musical and a it be about this particular musical and the song of norway . even people who love musical despise this film and which bring me to my theory . this film might be a comedy after all . it might be a genius thought of the director and drag the musical down the road and show it with so much sugar coat ( music ) number and that it really take the wind of the drama and anything else . you could say then and that this be a master plan . but on the other hand and it still doesn not make it an entertaining view . far from it . nice cinematography or landscape though .
