The film follows the American Lola, who very reluctantly has to travel to Kristiansand - to convince the man she despises more than anyone else to give up an enormous inheritance. Gordon and Roger only have each other, and both well into their forties, they live their lives completely out of step with what is the norm in Kristiansand - in every conceivable way. Firstly, they run the sex shop "Sex & Sånn" in Kvadraturen, across the street from Gordon's old congregation. He has put it right there to annoy family and friends who still attend the church, but refuses to admit this to Roger. Annoying isn't a word Gordon would use either. He wants to free his family. And not just them, but the whole city! (The Norwegian International Film Festival)

I had high expectations, but they were not met. K-Town tries to be a comedy, but it's not funny, just like it wants to be an action crime film, but unfortunately it doesn't meet that either. The characters have illogical behaviors and are very naive. In fact, the whole fictional world doesn't make much sense and I'm not a fan. So this is a below average film that occasionally makes the corners twitch, but that's about it. The acting is very poor - the best was Tim Ahern, who ironically is the only foreign actor in the film. But the Norwegian audience, based on the comments after the screening, obviously liked the film. [TNIFFH 2023]
