Jönssonligan kommer tillbaka

Sorry, but I have lived in Sweden for many years, but never saw the original films. So coming in with no expectations, I was very dissapointed with this film. The comedy was definitely not laugh out loud, in fact the whole film seemed somewhat childish to me. Perhaps aimed at that market.

If your not invested in the Jönssonligan earlier films, then I'm not sure this film will do much for you. For me it just wasnt funny, I felt they could have done a lot more with the plot. We ended up switching it off towards the end.

It could and should have been so much better, I'm a huge fan of Robert Gustavsson, but in this film, I'm afraid he failed to shine for me.

It well be only because i like the style and the idea behind every "Jönssonligan" film. But this was definitely much better then i thought! It was great.

It wasent only unique and funny, it actually had a well written manuscript that fitted extremely well with the characters and a special plot. It had amazing performances.

Dont get me wrong, its a pretty easy and chill film to watch, especially around christmas. But it was pretty well made and pretty clever.

It's DEFINITELY giving the classic vibe from the old and original films.

You definitely get the same feeling. Robert makes a amazing performance in portraiting "Sickan"

You should watch this even if you dont like the original. Its a easy, well put together, well acted, well written and genuinely fun film to watch with your family.

Sickan and Wall-Enberg were the only characters that somewhat resembled their original counterparts from Jönssonligan.

Dynamit-Harry, Vanheden, and Doris felt overplayed and exaggerated, losing the charm and personality that made them beloved in the classic films. Doris was never as involved in the heists as she is here, which felt out of place. Vanheden was completely rewritten into an unrecognizable and unenjoyable character. Dynamit-Harry, known for his clumsy, carefree nature, was turned into an action-driven, alert character-far from how we remember him. Doris, once warm-hearted, is now aggressive, pushy, and irritating.

The movie's pacing was uneven-some scenes felt rushed, while others seemed stretched just to pad the runtime. At times, the script appeared to lack content.

The police characters had a Beck-like tone but leaned too much into forced humor, missing the comedic style of previous Jönssonligan films.

While it was a respectable attempt, the drastic character changes made little sense, even considering the time gap since the last film. It's understandable that characters evolve, but the transformation here was too extreme.

It's a modern production, but it's so overproduced that it loses the nostalgic feeling that those of us who grew up with the originals cherished.

Well, a bit slow the third act. But hey, this is so much better than anticipated. Great script, funny, weird, lively, nuanced, I just loved it. Jonas Karlsson is great (as always) but so is the rest of the cast. Stylish, fast paced, witty.

For me, this reminds me of the old ones. Childish and playful but surely for adults. Robert Gustavsson is not the best actor but here - he reminds me a lot of Gösta Ekman.

The nod to the danish original is fun. My girlfriend chooses this on our kid-free Friday and it was a treat.

Also good music and great costume and set. And there is a bit of romance too, that is a bonus.

The business of remakes is a very sensitive one. Especially when taking on a franchise that a great deal of the audience really cherish.

The best thing would no doubt be to time travel back to the 1980's and record more stories about Jönssonligan with the original cast and writers. But the lack of time machines makes this film the very best alternative.

The previous attempts from 2015 (Den Perfekta Stöten) and 2020 (Se Upp För) to revive Jönssonligan may have made this film project even more sensitive and risky. But with a great cast, script and a heist worthy of the band, this is clearly a setup that can be built upon in future films. And hopefully will be.

Robert Gustavsson has kept many of the ticks and manners of "Sickan" from his predecessor, but still manage to balance it with his own interpretation not to fall into an act of pure imitation. Same goes for Jonas Karlsson as Vanheden, and Anders Jansson as Dynamit-Harry.

The hardest part both to write for and to portray, is of course Doris. She is furthest away from the original character, which in a way is understandable as the 1980's Doris is quite frankly very stupid. A feature that - no matter how comic and entertaining - is not allowed on female characters in the 2020's. The writers and actress Jennie Silfverhielm does however make the absolute best of it, making Doris a bit sharper, but still comic and adorable. She is still "en underbar människa!" If you loved the original 1980's films, you will definetly like this one.
