odd little man (norwegian title: "da jeg traff jesus... med sprettert") is a norwegian family movie from 2000, directed by stein leikanger, based on one of the biographic memoirs of odd børretzen. the title of the movie is a norwegian pun: the first part of the norwegian title means "when i met jesus", and the second part means "...with a slingshot", thus changing the meaning of the title to "when i "hit" jesus ... with a slingshot", as the word 'traff' can mean 'hit' or 'met' depending on the context. the english titles makes use of the coincidence that børretzen's norwegian first name has another meaning in english.
