Turn Me On, Dammit! (2012)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Just what I expected

A Major Disappointment

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I loved watching this movie. It gives the viewer a good perspective of how it's like for a teenager to live in a small village where hopes and dreams seem to be unreachable or only possible to achieve when living in a big city like Oslo. The changing of the body when growing up and dealing with new emotions and sexual feelings are well told and shown in this movie. The characters are realistic and the actors are fantastic! It has this slow and almost boring feel to it but combined with some smooth camera actions and some nice surprises your attention stays focused on the movie. To me movie is a piece of ART! This movie reminded me of 'Fucking Åmål' (1998) Lukas Moodysson

The first film I've seen from Norway, Turn Me On, Dammit! is a comedy about a 15-year-old girl named Alma with raging hormones. She masturbates, she fantasizes, she calls phone sex lines (creating a steep bill for her poor mother) and she steals a porn mag from her workplace (she only got the job to pay her phone bill). She seems unable to tell the difference between her fantasies and reality, becoming an outcast when she tells everyone Artur, a boy she likes, poked her with his penis at a party. Surprisingly, it turns out she does know what's real and what isn't, because he really did that.Turn Me On, Dammit! might be funnier in Norwegian than English. The two parts I found particularly funny are when she frankly explains the phone bill to her shocked mother, and the ending where she asks her if Artur can sleep over (her mother says no). The whole film has a quirky feel to it, though, and never stops being entertaining. With a little colour and some brutal honesty, Turn Me On, Dammit! is worth a look.

Like any other Indie Teen Movie about Sex,"Turn Me On Dammit!" is a movie about a fifteen year old girl named Alma who's hormones are out of control and desperately wants to experience sex for the first time.Living in a very dull small Norwegian town, Alma can only daydream about Arthur (The guy at her school she crushes on) and make calls to phone sex lines just so she can pleasure herself. Basically, her life is very mono-sexual. At a party one night, Alma finds herself suddenly alone with Arthur, who out of nowhere ends up exposing himself to her and pokes her on her thigh with it. As she under reacts in her own way though still freaked out about it, Alma makes the mistake to run off and tell her "friend" who also secretly crushes on Arthur and out of jealousy ends up telling the entire school for her own benefit. As a result Alma becomes an outcast at school and no one would talk to her. To make matters worse her mother finds out about her phone sex calls and becomes aware of Alma's sexual frustration that is out of control. As Alma does her best to live life as best as she can life closes in on her as she struggles to deal with her new found solitude.This is a very funny and cool movie that I truly enjoyed watching. It has a great young cast, along with a very honest storyline. The cinematography is simple. The color palette on this film is superb which nicely paints a picture. Filled with an awesome score of eclectic acoustic tunes, this is truly a nice simple movie to chill out to. I personally wished it been a little longer but still works out for what it is.Overall, don't just watch this movie expecting just to see teen sex. You'll probably be somewhat disappointed if you do. This is a movie about a teenager coping with her sexual frustration at home and finding a way to deal with her public humiliation at the same time. Give it a chance, you might just enjoy yourself. 7 out of 10

This movie was awesome! I don't know if I've seen anything like it, ever. So real. I totally recommend it, especially if you're a young female like me. It'll make SO much sense to you.Boys might not be as hip to it, but who really cares LOL. Honestly, though, teenage sexuality {especially for females in whom it's widely abject-ified} and sexual expression can bring up so much emotional baggage that I was afraid to watch this film at first. I'm so glad that I did though, because yes, it did address loaded topics yada yada yada, but with a lighthearted and humorous delivery. Beautiful landscapes, additionally. AWESOME. WATCH IT! :)
