Silly Swedish 80s nostalgia

[rolandddd · 5/10 · 18 April 2013]

Gröna gubbar från Y.R. certainly is not a good movie, it doesn't even come close. The plot is irritatingly bad, with small green men crash-landing their spacecraft in an amusement park while, incredibly, the character don't question their existence but plays along like nothing strange happened.

Some of the actors are screen veterans and they perform well enough, but in some of the leading parts the actors have not been seen on screen before or since this movie, and you can tell by the terrible acting. There is shameless product placement as well, as a newly formed rock band performs for no apparent reason. The humor also stinks, it is horribly dated even for the 80s and feels like bad 40s or 50s comedies.

What I liked about this movie is its harmlessness, it is apparent that the movie has no great ambitions, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I also like the 80s nostalgia, the hair, the music, the way people used to talk, and so on, and as a nostalgic document from my childhood, I really like it. But really, if you're not into 80s nostalgia, stay away from this.

Green men from Y.R.

This is a really cool film that did not quite make to the big audience. Three green men are forced to crashland on earth. The exact position is Skara Summer Land in Sweden. The three dwarf look a likes are really funny and cool and they will do anything to get back into space. And if you like good flicks from the 80:s this is a must, if you can get a hold of it.

Fantastic story, ordinary movie

This movie made quite an impact on me when i was a young boy. The story was awesome and the little aliens were really creepy with their green faces and shaved heads. When i see it now, i still get scared but i think the acting is sometimes poor and unispired and the music somehow feels dated. It´s nonetheless a great movie of the 80s.
