Äntligen midsommar!

I just looked at a little part of this movie. I was so "angry" at it.

Totally wrong image is painted in this movie. Midsummer is not about sex... it doesn't work this way the are showing it in this movie.

I think it's a little bit of a scandal how they painting the Swedish beautifully tradition has Midsummer is. Midsummer is about the nature gods, nature!!! NOT alcohol and Sex!!!

They should have checked the true informations a little bit more the started to film this movie.

How would you all say if someone spread wrong information about Christmas or some els traditional or some els religion tradition???

I just watched this movie with a bunch of my Swedish friends and we had a blast! Being a non-Swede I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as they did, but I totally did. The subtitles didn't bother me, which was a surprise since I tend not to watch foreign movies.

I felt the cast were tight and very easy going. The dialogue simple and got to the point without the expected Swedish delay if you know what I mean. It reminded me of The Big Chill... Sweden looked beautiful and exotic in my eyes. The director has made a funny and sweet movie, nice to see Swedes in a different light than what Bergman shared with us. Thank you, McCrudden, we needed that!

From the very first scene you get the odd feeling that something is off. And from there on it gets worse. This movie is sold to the audience as a comedy, but there's not a single comedic moment to be seen. No matter what kind of comedy you're into, it all comes down to timing, which there is none of in this movie.

The movie is directed by a US director and maybe that has something to do with it. Not that US directors are generally worse than Swedish ones, but I get the feeling the director knows little to no Swedish and can't tell a good delivered line from a bad line. Because I refuse to believe they cast a complete ensemble of talentless actors, it must be the directing that is off.

It's cringe worthy to watch and only leaves you with a sad and uncomfortable feeling.

I'll add an extra point to the already low vote simply because the music in this movie is quite nice.

I have to disagree with "An Abomination". Just because the movie has depth doesn't make it less of a comedy. There are quite a few truly funny scenes well suited for a comedy. The movie also has another, more serious, side to it which I find really appealing. It is not hard to find at least one character you recognize yourself in, for good or worse... :) I am usually more of an action-movie-kind-of-a-girl but this comedy really hit the mark for me. It makes you feel happy, sad, embarrassed (sometimes you recognize sides of yourself you don't want to acknowledge), and then happy again one minute later. All in all, I really like it, and as a bonus it has my kind of ending. I would definitely recommend it, above all to Swedes living abroad who miss their friends and the Swedish summer. If they watch this movie they would feel like home for 90 minutes. Now finally I have to agree with "An Abomination", the music is great!

one of films saved by the flavor of memories about it. because it propose a large puzzle and so many scenes , a Swedish tradition, few drops of Shakespeare, nudity, marriage crisis and Luke Perry as a kind of guest. and, like each film from the same recipes, the public may explore, at the level of imagination, the possibilities of a better script / acting. it is not exactly a problem of good intentions or artistic errors but the lost of purpose scene by scene. at the end - a summer story about nothing. too dramatic, too full of details, looking the manner to build a coherent story about emotions, expectations and the way to understand the other. all as an improvisation show. but, unfortunately, nothing more.
