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.

A gloriously crazy film, superb acting all over the line and so funny you'll laugh every time you see it. Possibly the last truly funny Swedish movie (sadly). 10 out of 10, and a golden star to Hans Alfredson for his wonderful portrayal of the old gobbledygook-speaking fisherman.

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

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.
