Swede Caroline

Swede Caroline is a raw and refreshingly funny British comedy that doesn't hold back. It tells the story of Caroline navigating a whirlwind of unpredictable events, mixing moments of chaos with humor that feels effortless. The comedy isn't overworked-it's natural and flows perfectly with the situations Caroline faces. One of the film's standout features is its soundtrack-it's that good. Watch it with Shazam ready, I would. The songs perfectly match the energy of the film's wild, unpredictable ride...

Swede Caroline is a real gem worth watching.

I need to right a few more words to pass the minimum required.

I went into Swede Caroline not knowing exactly what to expect, and I was completely blown away. This film is an absolute gem! It's the perfect blend of British humor and originality.

Jo Hartley is brilliant as Caroline and instantly lovable. There is brilliant comedy throughout with just the right amount of absurdity - which you can expect from writer/director - Brook Driver. The story of a giant vegetable-growing competition might sound niche, but trust me, it's gold. The mockumentary style works perfectly, pulling you into the small-town drama in the most hilarious way.

What I loved most is how, even though the film is pretty bonkers, it still has real heart. The writing is sharp and there are lots of laugh out loud moments.

Swede Caroline is the world's biggest turnip!

It is a very amateurish affair just a cut above fart jokes. And no one in the audience laughed beyond a mild chuckle, which were few and far between.

The hightlight of the movie was the John Cooper Clark track towards the end of film, which was cleverly written and delivered, and it garnered the most laughs from the audience. The rest of the soundtrack was good too.

In part, I grew up on a working farm and had my own allotment for many years, and I've had better laughs digging in the drenching rain on a Sunday afternoon.

Part of the draw to see watch this steaming heap of compost was the cast, but they were severely restricted by their poorly defined characters and poor script.

Nowhere near as funny as I expected it to be. It could have been better especially with some of the cast in the film Another thing that annoyed me, in the credits they give the exit song credit to Dan Baboulene. The Marrow song ( Oh what a beauty) was sung by Adge Cutler and the Wurzels back in the late 60s/early 70s. Its on some of their albums. Including Adge Cutler and the Wurzels "Cutler of the West" album which was released in 2003 on CD but originally released on vinyl in 1968. In fact this particular song was written in 1952 by Edrich Siebert. So it should not have been credited as original music by Dan Baboulene As you can tell I am a Wurzels fan.

In all the years I've been married to my wife, I've never once seen her laugh!

Sure, she didn't laugh at this film either. But I sure did!

My wife is a straight up drip to be honest. There were moments in this film that any normal person would absolutely piss their pants. Like literally hilarious moments... not my wife though.

To be honest, we've been together so long now that we've just slipped into the drudgery of everyday life. I know it's gonna take more than one film about big massive vegetables to break us out of that, but at least it gave me something to smile about.

So if you need something to lift your spirits and take your mind off your miserable, miserable life, this is the film for you!
