I'm not going to waste more than one paragraph on this rubbish. It's just one of those movies, among many, that make you ashamed to be Swedish. Why do we have to put up with steaming crap like this, let alone praise it? It's NOT realistic, it's merely a Swedish remake of the equally pseudo-shocking "Thirteen", only with a dumber sense of humour and minus the hotness of Evan Rachel Wood. The plot is dull, the jokes are mind-numbing (not to mention incredibly awkward and out of place in a movie which supposedly portrays teenage life as it really is), the performances sub-par. I don't know what else to say except don't see this and watch Torkel i Knipa instead. It's a movie about teenage life which is easier to relate to, much funnier, and oh, it doesn't suck. Unsurprisingly that film came from Denmark, a country which is so much better at movie-making than Sweden, it's embarrassing.

This is a very boring film about stupid teenagers. The actors are all amateurs and the girls are not even good-looking (well excuse me, but I think that every high school-comedy should have good-looking girls in them since we're not exactly watching these films because of some intellectual script with an intense drama). Besides, the only serious issue in this flick is poorly dealt with. Sexual harassment is not something you joke about, not like this at least. Because that's what this movie is: A Joke! Don't watch it, watch Monty Python instead. They are funny. I'ts a shame that movies like this one is ever allowed to be released. The money could have gone to something better. But I'm sure the director has learned from his mistakes and quit doing films.

I watched this movie... I dunno. I think it's plain crap from beginning to the end. In Sweden, dozen teachers has gathered to make film to tell teenagers NOT to drink alcohol and NOT do drugs and NOT have sex for once in your life. Oh, and don't forget to listen your parents and always remember that if someone tries to make suicide, begin best friends with him/her.Remember the teaching films from grade school times? This film is one of those. I don't like this film and I really.. REALLY can't understand anyone who says otherwise. If you do, school teachers's teaching propaganda has gotten you. Try watch some MOVIES for a change!

This Swedish movie is about the problem of Swedish (?) sexism. A 13-year-old-girl gets drunk at a party, gets unconscious and is photographed in compromising poses. Then she gets a reputation as a "whore".The intentions of this movie might be good and Amanda Renberg as the main character is talented, but the script isn't. This shouldn't pass even as pupil's work at film class in high school. It's done for young people in the early teens, but the movie is talking to them like they where extremely silly. Keep away from this, you'll only get angry.
