Everyone's favourite Norwegian actor is finally given his chance to shine in a Comedic film, with the trailers looking extremely promising. Hivju's effortless charm seems to work well off Will Ferrell's more dynamic comedy in the footage we've seen so far, although early reviews have been less than flattering.

Hivju's character appears to be running the ski resort where the film is set, but its unclear just how much screentime the tall Norwegian will have. The focus of the film is the issues faced by a married couple played by Ferrell and Seinfeld's Julia Louis-Dreyfus after Ferrell's character 'does a runner' when imminent danger arises.

The concern, like for all Ferrell films, is that the supporting characters will not be given enough space to breath, which would be a real shame considering Hivju's comic potential.
