Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
tuffast A true Swedish comedy. A must see for everybody though, not just swedes. The comments and the camera-work is just great. Of course one of the boats are also chased by an insane person from the Swedish IRS, this being a movie from Sweden an all. The first time I saw it was with some of my friends, who I also do some sailing with, and I just loved it after just a few minutes. The beginning of the movie may seem quite boring but just bite together and bear through it; The fun will begin shortly. I think this movie may appeal specifically to the same audience as the "Sällskapsresan" movies do, even though this movie has nothing to do with that series. It still keeps up the same typical sense of humor.
ze0 This movie is about a boat race on a small river in the mid of Sweden. They are racing for an order of 1000 yachts to a middle-east sheik. The movie has a lot of (at the time) good Swedish actors, I beleive that you have to be from Sweden or Scandinavia to like this one...It has a bit of classic action here and there but it's kind of a comedy / drama picture. The story plays out in "present day" 1981 and it's a "feel good" movie.I rate is movie 7/10.
AndreasClaeson There are not many films from Sweden that you can watch as many times as I have watched Göta Kanal. It's certainly one of the best movies ever produced in this country. The actors delivers extremely well-timed lines and the witty script makes you crumble of laughter! 1 157 846 Swedes saw Göta Kanal in the movies.
Fred Andersson I would say there is a tradition in Sweden watching this film... If you haven´t seen it, do that at once! Every big actor in Sweden has a role in this movie, and a couple of not so big actors. The action-scenes are still wonderful and spectacular, a ton of boat- and car crashes, wonderful comedy and a lot of classic lines. A real classic...
