It's quite funny and bawdy. It's about the only Christmas production I've ever enjoyed.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas movies in general. Actually, I'm not a fan of Christmas either. So the more irreverent the better.

I hate dubbing - the actors' mouths don't line up with the words and it drives me crazy. And I understand a fair amount of Norwegian, so watching a dubbed version of this series would drive me even crazier.

I forget to think of it as a Christmas movie but from now on I’m going to say it’s my favorite. Great movie about the Christmas Eve truce in WW1
