The Wendy Effect Trailers

In the shadows of the outskirts of Oslo, every criminal has their place until the economical meltdown. The luxury prostitute Wendy might have the key to the problem, or at least to the heart of the bank, the criminals and even the police.

Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
OJT The Wendy Effect is a dark comedy from the team behind "Chasing Berlusconi", "King Curling" and also the director of more famous TV-series like "Etaten" and "Lilyhammer". So you rally know what you get, and this is both well made and funny. The characters are well planned, and the acting is gold. What's then the trouble? It's the lack of plot and ideas which makes this score only a 6/10 for me, and that might even be on the kind side.It's such a travesty that all the good work that has been put into this doesn't work because of the script. And Ole Endresen, which really know how to direct, and really also know how to make a film, and above all gets films made. But it's about time he realizes that he needs a couple more to look at the script before the film goes near production. The jokes aren't as funny as the actors and the characters deserve.Christian Skolren is fabulous in his role. So is the gangster Jouko Ahola. And the rest is really good.Ole Endresens films always have great characters and he also manages to convince good actors and comedians to participate. It's so sad that the lines, gags and jokes doesn't at all hold up with the rest of the quality in the project.I really liked "King Curling", though some gags could have been better also her. "Chasing Berlusconi" was bad. again the same as with this. Yoo hasty in making it into film, because the script wasn't ready. "The Wendy Effect" is still a lot better than "Chasing Berlusconi".I really want to see more of this kind of dark comedy, so I really hope that Endresen takes notice of this constructive criticism, and gets help om the script. He has many great comedians in his "company" - why not ask them to go through the script!?
