Rakel (Kristine Kujath Thorp) doesn't want a baby, ever, but when she is told she's been unwittingly pregnant for months and it's too late for an abortion, she'll have to finally figure her life out. Or not. Ninjababy is a raucous comedy about something that would appear, on paper, not to be funny at all, but Rakel is such a mess, it just works. A cartoonist with an overactive imagination (largely represented by animation), she manifests the baby as a character that pokes and prods her, right in the values. But staying true to oneself is a value too. We're heading for a rather poignant ending, but in the meanwhile, lots of chuckles with a variety of comic characters (the potential fathers, especially) enlivening the "girl behaving badly" comedy tropes. The actual lines are in Norwegian, of course, but there the English translations of a fair few are sticking with me.
Siskoid

josue.a.o
Nice.
I did not expect that plot and such realistic and comic (but respectful) approach at the same time :)
Great movie !
