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.
... View MoreThe movie is considered being one of the classic Swedish comedies, but in my opinion it's not any funny. The concept of the film, about the competing boats would be good enough to make something of, and they have a great cast. The special effects are also good, thinking about it being an old Swedish 80's movie. But the jokes aren't funny. There's no funny situation comedy nor any good verbal jokes. They are just talking incoherently and falling or pushing each other into the water. Too bad.Good old Swedish films are for example "Jönssonligan", "Sällskapsresan" or the films starring Björn Skifs. This one does not belong in the same league.
... View MoreI think it´s one of the best swedish comedic movies beside "Sallskapsresan" with Lasse Aberg. It has really good action scenes and lots of funny yokes. It´s also modern to be in the 80´s it has the Dolby Stereo Mix!
... View MoreI 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...
