Has anyone heard of or seen the Norwegian film Get Ready To Be Boyzvoiced? From its Wikipedia entry it sounds like the best film ever made! It's about a boyband, as you may guess from the title, and has a seriously insane storyline:
It also stars such delightful pop acts as a1, Morten Abel, Espen Lind and Rene from Aqua! Apparently it's been shown on TV in Australia but I couldn't find a DVD anywhere. I did find their CD on CDON, though, and have downloaded some of their songs. They are ridiculously bad, but funny, mocking all of the typical things boybands do in their music. Their Xmas song, Let Me Be Your Father Christmas, is something everyone needs to hear even if it is March, including lines such as "I promise you that stars will shine when Father Christmas takes you from behind", "Hooray! Hooray! It's the bi-irthday of Jeeeesus" and a hilarious rap.

The band is a three-piece vocal group dominated by their utterly untalented lead singer M*Pete. When they are caught lip-synching before the release of their first album, scandal erupts (fed also by their manager's physically assaulting an elderly male and an elderly female member of the Salvation Army and the revelation that M*Pete's 16 year-old girlfriend is actually only 12) and they are dropped by their record company. They consider leaving the music industry, but their manager gets them a sponsorship deal with a Norwegian fish finger manufacturer. Ultimately they bounce back to fame after an appearance at the HitAwards Norwegian music awards show.
