Pals Kristoffer (Nicolai Cleve Broch) and Geir (Aksel Hennie) share a downtown apartment with the web designer Stig Inge (Anders Baasmo Christiansen). While Kristoffer and Geir enjoy videotaping their lives for fun, Stig prefers to stay inside the apartment hidden from the rest of the world. After Kristoffer breaks up with his girlfriend Elizabeth (Janne Formoe), he and Geir are hired at a local television station for a reality show called "Kristoffer's Video Diary." The show shakes up their previously ordinary lives and ignites a romance involving their new roommate Henriette (Pia Tjelta). Buddy won the audience award at the 2003 Karlovy Vary Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Marta Barber, Miami Herald
It touches on a lot of different matters, yet you can't help having a good time watching it.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a well-intentioned yet frustratingly conventional piece of work.
-
Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Traditional and predictable ... you've seen this one before.
