Plots(1)
The somewhat insane Doctor Proctor has accidentally invented the world's most powerful fart powder. When two kids from his neighborhood drop by for an unexpected visit, it becomes the beginning of an unusual friendship and a riotous business project. Well-behaved Lisa with her pigtails and tiny Nilly with his bright red hair decide to help introduce Doctor Proctor's fart powder to the world. But this turns out to be an adventure fraught with danger, as the wealthy and evil Mr. Thrane and his two creepy sons are willing to do anything to get their hands on the fart powder. The comedy DOCTOR PROCTOR'S FART POWDER is a modern-day fairy tale set in a world where the most normal adult is a mad professor, where animals you wish didn't exist lurk in the sewer, and where the farts are powerful enough to launch you into outer space.

I don’t understand how Jo Nesbø managed to switch from bleak crime stories to a fairy tale about a doctor and his powder that gives you the power of farting all the way to the clouds. However, I haven’t read the book and believe it can be fun. The most fun of this movie was the opening scene with the cat… it all went downhill from there. Had it been a bit more politically incorrect, it probably wouldn’t have been as terrible.

For a moment, I even thought that the concept could be quite funny and that it might be fun to watch such a movie, but even though I haven't read the book, the movie definitely didn't appeal to me. It's as if Jo Nesbø had already written too many thrillers and just decided to veer off into something a bit crazy. It's not much, but mainly, it's just not very entertaining. At least in the movie version.
