Se upp för dårarna

It is a great feelgood movie with only some poor choice of sound designing here and there.

Watching quite some Helena Bergström movies where she is an actor there is a strong influence of her to be felt in it.

Which I like. It has a nice 'speed' as well.

Not too much Police Academy stuff in it, something I was a bit afraid of.

Very recommendable.

The movie seems sponsored by the Swedish police. It is not a comedy at all. I laughed maybe 0 times out of 2 attempts to a joke. That it is advertised as a comedy is a joke in itself.

I think that the actors and the script is okay. I felt that I had to watch the movie until the end. It is worthwhile to discuss in a cultural or political context since it is incredibly politically correct. Almost textbook-like as the females and immigrants become accepted in the police force just as one would suspect the dream situation for the Swedish government is. I usually don't mind but this is too blatant. It reeks of massproduction even though I do hope that the director disagrees.

This is a film that is what we in Sweden call "småputtrig", i.e. it kind of just "simmers along", like a pot of stew on a stove. Its not going nowhere, and not much is really happening, except a bit of heating and the creation of small bubbles. Actually, this film also simmers on a rather low heating, a 4 out of 10 heating, that is. Its never above a 5 in the funniness respect.

As to tie together the story of two girls trying to get into the police academy in Stockholm, they get to become mavericks, tracking down a criminal in the silliest "Kalle Blomkvist" fashion imaginable. This lowers the whole film, a couple of extra degrees, and reduces its "småputtrighet".

this is both emotional and funny. one of many few really good Swedish films out there... big credits to Helena Bergström for her excellent work.

First of I would like to point out how hard it is for people to get into the police academy in Sweden. the standard is higher then the most country's.

And actually thats whats this movie is all about.

secondly the humor in this movie is quite funny, really funny in some parts. the family plots whit the father problems is as Im made to believe based upon a true story.

You could say that this is a Swedish version of the police academy. there is only one movie based on the same sort of movies from Sweden and it is Kopps.. a really nice piece.

but again thanks for this lovely movie..

This is not good. I found myself enjoying more and more Swedish movies lately so i thought is should give this one a try. There was a lot of hype around it because the director is a already famous actress. The movie is about two girls who ends up applying to the police academy at the same time, its about their families and boyfriends etc.

The thing that most annoyed me is the weird musical choices and the awful timing. If you see it you'll agree. Then the relationship between the two girls and their fathers, which seems to be the biggest part of the plot, and its just so silly and stupid. I mean you couldn't care less about it. I cant really find anything to write i just saw that the commentary was empty so i thought i should contribute. It really sucks and you'd think the director would have picked a better script or done something more to it but instead its just crap. Boring, boring, stupid, bad acting. Good night
