What a delightful surprise this film was! Right from the start till it ends it does magnifically the thing it is supposed to do: entertain. Yes, it has some clichés, yes it is hollywood and yes it has some very unrealistic moments but when you watch a movie from this category you should try to forget these things and enjoy with an "empty mind". Freaky Friday got me laughing hard and made me feel bubbly and energetic after it ended and that, to me, proves that this film did the right job. Uplifting, that is the right word for this movie.

One of the main keys for this movie is the perfect cast. Jamie Lee Curtis, the little brother and the grandpa were hilarious and I was really positively suprised with Lindsay Lohan who has grown into a beautiful and sparkling "almost woman". Great job. Watch this film when you need some cheering up! Many thumbs up.

Gosh how this is one of those films that have made me load negative prejudices in my mind and then after seeing it, I start lauging to those thoughts because they were so wrong. This movie was an utter pleasent suprise. Rarely there are such great Finnish movies as Pahat Pojat. I was so suprised. The actors were natural, fun and sympatic. Even Jasper Pääkkönen who I have never liked. I´ve changed my thoughts about him now. The women actresses weren´t so good but that didn´t matter as the boys did so good. And Vesa-Matti Loiri! Gosh, how horrible he was made. He did a fantastic job.

What I really liked in this movie was that it is so colourful. It has action, great dialogue, romance and the best thing: humor. I laughed every five minutes! It also gets very touching at times too. That´s good for an "explosition movie". Pahat Pojat is for young people. It is rough and action packed, also light, warm and funny. See it!

I took this deligthful little movie from the library a few days ago. I had not seen it in many years, but watching it made so many colorful childhood memories come up that I couldn´t stop smiling. This film truly is a children´s movie in its best! It is based on an Astrid Lindgrens book and it tells about an island called Saltkråkan, the people and expecially the kids who live there. The characters are lovable and true, stories and circumtanses sweet and realistic and the acting is wonderful from all the children and expecially Torsten Lilliecrona who plays Melkerson. Also, they couldn´t have found a more happy and well to handle cutie than 21 months old Kajsa Dandenell to play little Skrållan.

If you have the chance and you would like to spend a warm and laugh sure video evening with your children, get Tjorven och Skrållan in you hands.
