A young man wakes up. His girlfriend is kinda tired of his lazy way of living, it is time for a change. The change comes in the form of a digibox. His girlfriend wants to watch Titanic that very evening. She is not unreasonably, mind you, she does give him the money for the digibox, unfortunately, things are not that simple. Well, I say unfortunately, but the Odyssey that lies ahead of young Janne is a great one. This is no mindblowing movie that will give you some higher insight into life, or even show you a new way of making movies. It is a very traditional movie; man must go on adventure in order to win the woman. I won't spoil the ending too much, but I think you have an idea of where this is going. _Last words... this movie is done well, but nothing more than a light comedy. If I could only pick a handful of comedies to bring with me to the Otherworld, this would not be one of them, but it did entertain me._
