Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
nerdy-66398 do you ever feel like life has taken a downward spiral out of control in a loony towns cartoon from the era of no regret? Then the people in this movie envy you. You take one part (huuuuush Lila wee man) weir ass swedes, and trow in some awful goddamn navigating skills, and a bit of failed basic understanding of how boating works. if i could summarize my life choices in an angry semen captain with the vocabulary of that one cowboy from lonely tones it would be the sweetest melody from the song of the south remake i was working with my uncle. This movie goes ever on and on, enough for three friends to decide to drunkenly write a review together to properly show their appreciation's for the cesspool that is sweetish cinema. most importantly, though, it just gets better and better (or worse, depending on whether you have shitty taste or not) until it all collapses into a sweet dynamited Whitman-Esq gay celebration of proteins, managing to involve the whole Swed population (totally not a spoiler i swear 100%%%%). "why do i always get called little wee man" asked little wee man when the last drop of his alcohols was dripping down like a tear from his favorite Hollywood actor bill Cosby. anyway, i give this movie a perfect 10 like my ex wife who left me for an angry semen. this movie is perfect for drinking with friends and enjoying seeing someone else's life crumble down when you keep yelling "WHY CANT THEY SWIM?" when the answer is that Sweden has been on an island for so long that they forgot what water looks like.pro tip, it's like a game of over watch but much less salt.
Peter William Sometimes it's hard to dock the boat. In this 1965 movie by Tage Danielsson, featuring his friend Hans Alfredsson, the two in Sweden normally referred to as Hasse&Tage, it becomes the death of those failing to do so.Holiday makers fail to dock a boat. Thats the plot. And it takes a long time for them to fail to dock the boat. Much too long. Inbetween beginning and end of the movie there's nothing else. Just an ongoing failure to dock the boat. Well, Hans Alfredsson eats a banana, but that doesn't count as a plot.Hasse&Tage must have had just about as hard a time to come up with a plot for the movie, as it's hard for the holiday makers to dock the boat. Why this movie is loved by many Swedes, I fail to see. It's simply not funny. It's just slow. Very Swedish, indeed. Maybe that's why it's considered funny in Sweden. It's slow and nothing really happens and at the end everyone dies.
anton-6 A strange film that dose not look like any other film.It is a very funny comedy about: A group of people arrives by boat to attend a party on a small island. They experience great difficulties while trying to go ashore. All the alcohol for the party is on the boat while the people on the island have all the food, and the only neighbor on the island, Garbo, is not as friendly as one would wish. Hasse Alfredson is the funniest in the film as the angry fisher man and it is impossible to hear what he says.Don´t miss the parody on Rififi! Rating: 4,5 out of 5
2 swedes This movie is probably the best Swedish movie ever. It has humor, drama, excellent actors, and an absurd intrigue, which never the less is totally logical in every detail. However, if you are not a Swede in the age above 35, It is probably completely incomprehensible for you. Compare it to an insider joke that only could be understood by a certain group of somehow related people. The movie is making fun of mannerisms and archetypes that has already disappeared from a Swedish society which was changing rapidly even when the movie was made, and which is totally different today.
