En gång i Phuket

All I want to say is, You should watch the movie to have a great time. Its soo romantic.

My wife and me went on a weekend to Østersund, Sweeden and decided to watch a Sweedish movie at the local cinema. We ended up at En gång i Phuket by dumb luck and man did we enjoy it. As two Norwegians we expected to see a dull and boring Swedish movie but this one got to be one of the best Sweden has ever produced. The humor was perfect and we, along with the rest of the audience laughed throughout the whole movie. I recommend this one to all Scandinavians and it's a pity it didn't reach the cinemas in Norway. Some of the actors may not have been the best around and my fellow country girl Jenny Skavlan is limited but she along with the Sweedish actors performed well above what we had expected.

We (my wife and I) gave it a solid "8". Maybe I should have given it a "9" ? For some reason we missed this movie when it was running on the cinemas. We've seen "Sommaren med Göran" more times that we can count, and love it. My brother saw it on our recommendation, he's response was a shrug and - Nah. If you like "Little Britain", "Friday nigh dinner", "The Inbetweeners" etc, you'll like this one too. The plot you've probably already read so I won't go into that. Right, just back on the computer from watching it a second time, this time with our children (10,12), thumbs up from them too :)

Just as the other series (+ The Inbetweeners movies) mentioned above, they grow on you, don't just watch them once.

Cheers,

Peter :)

Nothing very special about this movie.. It is not bad, but neither nothing surprising.. It is quiet predictable, build on similar Holywood style-romantic comedies.. Though it was interesting to see it "from swedish point of view"... And the melodic swedish language is fun to listen

This movie really shows how amazing Mr Magnusson is.
