Menolippu Mombasaan

Menolippu Mombasaan is good movie no doubt about it!But the sad thing is that it's only couple of steps from being truly mangnificent

The flaws

1.The script is too naive.But it's also funny and emotional! 2.The fact that the two main characters has a cancer is too much in the backround!!

But what is great

1.The cinematography!Especially in the end when three main characters are on the beach!That's great! 2.The fact that characters talks like REAL people would! 3.The humor is great!!

I recommend this movie!Don't underestimate Finnish cinema!It has became better and better so please support it!

HI! I was in Finland last year and found this movie. I just tried it... And loved it. We were a team of student, in Finland, in Kauniainen, and all of us were just crazy about this movie. The day we all left Finland, we were singing the movie theme to wake up a friend of us...

And guess what, one year later I was in Mombasa, discovering Kenya. I would never had thought of Mombasa without having seen this movie!

Few movies give you the taste of happiness, and what taking care about all the single moment of your life means! Like the guy before said, it's not just about a guy who's gonna die, it about life!

Bye! Jules.

I thought this would be a tiresome tragedy about a young man with cancer. Boy was I wrong. This is a roadmovie with lots of humour and jokes about death. New and upcoming actors are always refreshing and this is no exception. This is a movie for everyone, with exception to the youngest toddlers, which might be scared by a nosebleed.

This is my first to be fortunate enough to watch a Finnish film. Its a yearly event here in Cebu, Philippines to showcase different films from Europe sponsored by the European Union and the Arts Council of the Philippinese. This has been a must-seen-event every year that my sisters have been following. This is my first time to avail to this wonderful opportunity to explore the world of film from different countries.

I must comment on the location of the film. Its WONDERFUL. Would love to go and see it first hand. My sisters and i just love the soundtrack. on the way out of the theatre we couldn't help but sing the music 'mombasa'. The actors were great as well. They project a typical teenage life. It also expose how people in Finland go bout courtship, the gigs, and life in Finland. I must say that i am also fascinated with the Finnish language. very interesting.

i am still looking for the soundtrack to put it in my mobile as a ring tone ^_^

Finnish movies have come a long way. This movie which has also had some success at festivals around the world is evidence that Finland can produce international quality movies. The actors are all really good and their performance is from time to time truly outstanding. It is always hard to make a movie with subjects like cancer but this movie manages to show cancer from a different angle. It is very nice to see the boys so full of life even in their weak situation. A must see for everyone.
