Swedish film where a young man turns priest, falls in love with a girl in a wheelchair and begins to doubt his faith. A stereotypical case of "opposites attract", the priest is a coward from a rich background, and the girl quite tough, living with her alcoholic mom in some skid row, this film falls on hard times where most films fail in trying to work against stereotypes. The only kicker being the funny banter between the main characters. The tedious story-line and rough total feel of the film bored me. If only the director had injected more into the characters, especially the ones that simply wait in the side-lines, I'm sure this film would have moved somewhere else, but as is, it's simply stale bread with only a couple of good, surprising ingredients thrown in.

This isn't really a romantic comedy to me, it is more of a drama film that is made to look like a comedy because else it would not sell as many movie tickets. The drama part of this comedy gives it a depth that other movies is this genre doesn't have.None the less this movie makes you laugh a lot. There are many scenes with toally crazy situations where i laughed my pants off.*spoilers*A movie about a handicapped girl with a alchoholic mother is more of a drama film than anything. All her friends are alchoholics and hang out in the ghetto. The girl even tries to commit suicide in one scene, this makes strong impression on me. But as this girl has a lovely personality the main male charachter can't seem to forget...*end spoilers*I can recommend this movie for everyone that likes swedish comedy and drama movies. 8/10.

The story was pretty weak and after one hour the movie felt long and boring from time to time. I'm not gonna spoil the end but i can tell you the movie's better the longer on the timeline you've gone through. Overall a good Swedish movie but i don't think it's playing in the same league as Daniel Lind Lagerlöfs previous works.
