Somewhat interesting for understanding the difficulties of movie-making

[tullmejs-710-311583 · 4/10 · 11 April 2010]

I think this movie would be suitable in film related classes. There are so many flaws yet also a lot of signs of quality. I think it above all tries to be too much at once. Also, the director's experience in TV humour work is evident in the way the movie often seems to be put together from several snippets.

It is funny here and there, in short flashes surprisingly so. But then there are the romantic scenes, decidedly less expertly crafted. And again, the two doesn't get along very seamlessly. A few characters are funny, or might have been, but here too their presence highlights the split un-whole general feel.

And again

There is absolutely no glory in Swedish police films, but it isn't in our midsummer films either. This is about the event guy, who works hard, but is still kind of sensitive. He wants to marry, but meet the wrong women all the time.

How many times have we seen midsummer party disasters? Quite many, to say the least. People get drunk, excited, cheat and feel sad about it. But here it as usual mostly there to make the audience laugh. No depths here, just a way of getting couples to the pictures a Friday night and then tell their neighbors how funny this was.

If there aren't any other ambitions, you could of course call this successful.

Good summer fun..

This is simply a sweet fun swedish movie about the complications in love and relationships.

Some very funny moments, beautiful swedish scenery and people.

So hard to find the right one, but remember to hold on if you're lucky enough to have that special someone.

This is worth your time Check it out.

Perfect movie about being imperfect

[deslegumes · 9/10 · 10 July 2012]

In my book, this is one of the best and most enjoyable "Bridget Jones" type movies, albeit with a male protagonist. The characters initially seems like a hopeless crowd, and the humor is mostly based around their flawed relationships, but also the stresses and challenges of combining a meaningless job with looking for the perfect girlfriend play in. This movie does this very elegantly, with small but important scenes conveying the story to the viewer, and without being too obvious this movie seems fresh and surprisingly funny. The movie also avoids a lot of the pitfalls one sees in comedies these days. I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a "feel good"-movie.

perfect

This is truly a perfection. The actors are at their peek in theirs careers. Peter Magnussen is terrific and i'm blessed to see his performance. I would recommend this movie to everyone A masterpiece!
