Kári’s follow-up to the memorable Noi Albinoi (2003), following the misadventures of a twenty-something slacker and his obese, aspiring-referee best friend, is a cracking film that begins as riotously funny, offbeat comedy, and gradually and subtly darkens in tone as life’s realities slowly creep up on its young protagonists.
