puputommy I don't get it. Why is this movie so popular here in Scandinavia? It's utter crap. I wasn't amused at all when watching this movie. The acting is decent, which is why I give the movie 2 out of 10 points. Movies are supposed to keep the viewer glued to the chair, wanting to see more, but this isn't the case with this movie. It's a boring ride from start to finish.I understand that Scandinavian film producers want some recognition as well - but what a bad example this is. This is the reason I'm not too hyped about nordic movies. I was left with a sad feeling after watching this movie. I actually wonder how I even managed to stay awake during the time this movie lasted. Not worth watching at all. A lousy movie with a really boring story to boot.

teleadm-persson This felt like if you haven't read the book, you are not invited to understand this movie! This portrays the north north Swedes as the drunkest people in the world, and they might challenge that with the north north people in Finland. This movie is far away from other Swedish movie like My Life as a Dog, Slingshot, As It is in Heaven and even MasDevils. Scenes comes and goes, most of them are bizarre, grotesque, sick, non-relevant and makes no sense to the rest of the story, since most threads is left in the air anyway. Björn Kjellman speaks Skånska as if he was educated at Jan Malmsjö School of fake Skånska academy, and many actors speak as if they forgot what movie they are in and wanders in and out of dialect. Any Åsa-Nisse or Janne Vängman movie when he says "Tjo Flöjt", or Three Stooges, or even Teen-agers from Outer Space has a better story thread than this awful mess.Avoid this movie!!! This is not what it sounds like! It's not a warm and funny or bittersweet coming of age movie!

starvinmarvin-3 While this movie is trying to be as funny in a grotesque way as "In China they eat dogs" and to express the desperation of "Noi Albinoi" at the same time, it fails to do so in both. I haven't read the book yet, but if the movie is as close to the book as the reviewers say, it's not worth the while either:Shallow characters, loose story, no real message, no scenery, no cool soundtrack(opposed to what you might expect from the title,),as hard as i try, i just can't find any reason to recommend this movie. It will always remain a miracle to me, how some movies manage to get a "hype up" for nothing. If u want to see a good movie from "up there", try one of the two mentioned above instead and save the money.

stensson Another Swedish movie about people in the North, regarded as monkeys in a zoo. This kind of "exoticism" is very cheap indeed. You are laughing about the drinking habits, disgusted about the children being beat up, laughing about the 60s, disgusted about small town prejudice and so on. It's too easy.If you grew up in this days, you don't recognize the era. This is of course about another far away part of Sweden, but the mood of the film is too different from how it was. It's under-acted and over-acted and the guys who are performing the two young boys are only average in talent.You can see this or avoid it. I would recommend the later alternative.
