This movie is completely mindblowing. Swedish movie culture is most often depressingly bad, but this movie is created with a sence of hollywood quality, without losing the essence of a small swedish society.

Growing up in a small village in Sweden myself, I can really say that this is true to life. It's a fascinating culture, with people doing such dumb stuff all the time and becoming local celebrities for it.

I've watched this movie about 5 or 6 times already, and it still brings me to tears each time.

If you live in Sweden and watched Swedish movies once in a while it's not hard to get pessimistic about them,since many Swedish movies are pessimistic about life. if it's not a criminal drama then it's about someones downward life but once in a while a uplifting charming film pops out. This film has what's called the hollywood script format,which means it starts low and ends high. The town it's filmed at could be any small town in Sweden and same goes with the people, like Springfield in "the Simpsons" I thought it's going to be something cheesy,plotless story line but I was positively surprised.It was about the human spirit and not give up on life or you give up on yourself

This film is good but it's not a classic. I like Mikael in the leading role because he is a great actor that gives everything on screen. Finally I like to say that Hasse P I a true hero because he shows in the movie that everything is possible.

A wonderful story! Really heart-warming and a good message.

In the first part, it seems unrealistic, improvised and just boring. The second half gives the touching moral lesson. Not an impressive film but just a nice one. About fame - not the good one- , about a town and about a man too easz to define him as looser. And his idea, changing more. Simple and touching. That is all.
