Don't Push the River

A Finnish short film based on a comedy show character is probably not the first in line to be translated into any language, even though it, in my humble opinion, should. This film shows a group of people from a company taking a trip to the (more or less) wilderness as an effort to better the working climate of their office. No-one can stand each other. They break their car, they get lost etc.

The only really funny thing about this movie is, that events to better the climate at a working place are held every now and then - and sometimes the results can be very annoying.

Very obvious jokes are being used, but those jokes nevertheless work. Makes me laugh at times. That is an achievement in itself. The film isn't long, either, and it shouldn't be. If this sort of a comedy goes on for an hour, it already turns into a mess. The world is full of one-joke comedies that last for ages... This one has at least two jokes and it delivers them in a neat package, as in a blow.
