“I saw this movie at Copenhagen Film-festival (CPH PIX), and even though I had no expectations going in, I was really bored throughout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is about a poor family, where the son tries to make money by selling burned copies of a u0026quot;Greatest Hitsu0026quot;-album with love songs. But for some reason, he memorizes all the songs (and their order), so he can recite them to potential customers. But we never actually see him trying to sell an album, only countless scenes of him sitting and reciting the song-titles. This happens so many times, that youu0026#39;re fed up by the end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt one point, an old man appears in their apartment, being the long-lost deadbeat-dad, returned after 15 years absence or so. They sit around doing nothing, argue a bit, and then they go on a short trip to a nice place in the country. But when theyu0026#39;re finally there, the dad insists on them leaving after 5 minutes, because one of his friends needs something from him. The entire 5 minutes are spent with him sitting in his car, staring out of the window… and we just sit there as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMidway through the movie, the director suddenly starts talking to the main characters for some reason, and it looks like a documentary. But it doesnu0026#39;t happen again, so the continuity is totally off, which seems very weird.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSometimes the plot was kind of hard to follow as well, as they jump back and forth in locations, without any coherence. I liked the characters, even if they were playing themselves (?) – but overall, the movie was really boring and went nowhere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, Greatest Hits – I donu0026#39;t think so..”
