Bare Bea - *SPOILERS*

Geez, in English that title sounds like a porn or something. "Bea bares all!" Which maybe isn't so ironic since it's all about Bea, a Norwegian high school girl who's desperately trying to lose her virginity. Line recommended it to me. She said it was really really awkward, but right now I'm almost half way through it and I don't think it is so much. Maybe i've just been desensitized by too many Judd Apatow and Steve Carrell movies, but so far (remember I'm not done yet) I think it's really endearing. I mean, it is awkward, but it's cute awkward. Like when your little cousin yells "PENIS!" at a family reunion. You want to laugh more than cringe. Right now I'm watching the scene right after Bea sends her sister home. Her friends have set her up with this guy so she can lose her virginity and just get it over with so she can hook up with the class president. The volunteer penis (i dont even remember his name) is supposed to be this experienced stud, but he seems like he's just a nice guy who's as nervous as she is. It's a little sad because he's treating it like a real date, and she's trying really hard not to get to know him. Anyway, i'm gonna watch the second half, so be back after that...

12:08am: Okay i'm not done yet.. but Bea and Volunteer Penis (from here on known as VP) just had sex. It was cute and awkward. I really didn't like Bea until the end of this scene when VP kisses her and she kisses him back. You can tell she likes him. Bea's not a bad person afterall :D

12:19: I hate Bea again. WHAT. A. BITCH!

12:20: Poor Anders :(

12:26: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. Daniel's expression when she tries the move on him is PRICELESS.

12:27: Bras suck.

12:31: I really hope I don't get proven wrong... but I love movies like this because of how honest they are. It's not like Beauty and the Beast where there's one obviously bad guy and one good guy who you know she's going to end up with. They're just normal people... Sure, Daniel's popular and confident, but he's a genuinely good guy. Anders is unsure of himself and kind of a loner, but he's also a good guy. Bea didn't realize what she was doing with Anders and now she's going to have to make a hard choice... Or is she? I hope so. Any other way would be boring.

12:36: Bea's at the foodstand... Anders sees her. Let's watch.

12:37: She offers him a drink! Geez, I thought that was going to get AWKWARD AWKWARD, but it's still cute awkward.

12:43: I KNEW it couldn't stay cute awkward forever. Anders just walked in on them at lunch and my heart's breaking because I know what's going to happen.

12:45: I hate Bea again. I hate her blonde friend even more. SUCH. A. BITCH.

12:49: Are those REALLY what hotdogs look like in Norway? Gross.

12:52: "I break up." That was adorable.

12:58: Do buses really stop in the middle of fields in Norway? Their public transportation is incredible...

1:05: It's over... What a great movie. Every couple minutes I would try to predict what would happen next and I'd end up feeling so stupid when I was wrong. Not about the big plot points, but about how each character reacted to the events. Stuff like Bea handing Anders the drink, or her chasing him up a tree.. I really expected dramatic arguments and fights, but that's not who he was. I guess I've just seen too many hollywood movies about teens, but the characters in Bare Bea are uniquely real. Even Mia surprised me! I totally expected her to be a carbon copy of Regina from Mean Girls, but she wasn't. Anyway, that's it for now.

PS: Agurk, sykkel, vann, pose and barbie!
