I watched a Swedish film called "Kitchen Stories" which I thought was a little weird (and I like weird) and I never really got into it even though it was somewhat funny. It was described as hilarious, so i figured it could have been fater than it actually was. Swedish winters are faster.
Next was a German film called "Shultze Gets the Blues", which I found to be funnier and more endearing. Possibly because it had to do with music and possibly because its main character was so easy to like. Going against the mainstream and dropping out of society to follow his dreams, he was a cool dude.
Anyone else find these to be worthy of two hours?!
