Sällskapsresan

This is a cult comedy classic. The best comedy movie ever produced by the Swedish film industry. Stig H. Olsson is a character that everyone in Sweden knows, he's charm and neediness is extremely well done. And this vacation comedy really has is all and will go down in the history book as the best Swedish comedy ever made.

This is a cult classic.

I've seen this movie so many times and NEVER have I gotten tired of it, I see it multiple times a year and remember all the lines.

It's fun and lot of the skits are based on real life experience from stories told by swedish travel agencies.

The woman who plays Mrs. Storch is not a proffessional actor, but rather a real life travel agent that was a consultant on the movie.

Lasse Åberg thought she was amazing and funny and asked if she wanted to play Mrs. Storch.

But by any means, it might not live up to todays comedy standards, but it's really funny in a silly way and you kinda have to know a little about swedish culture and society to understand the jokes.

So this is not a movie for everyone and anyone, but if you like old comedies, then watch this movie.

This may not be much of a comedy in the fundamental sense, but Lasse Åberg's Sällskapsresan is a fine little feel-good flick and a valid peak at the first wave of Scandinavian sun travels to the Canary Islands. In the midst of all the obvious buffoonery made to mock and make fun of everything from Swedish stereotypes and snobbish businessmen to Catholic chastity, the film has a sincerity and an authentic charm that makes it impossible to dislike. Stig-Helmer Olsson, played by writer/director Lasse Åberg, and his Norwegian buddy Ole Bramserud, played by a bubbly Jon Skolmen, make for a delightful duo.

Stig H Olsson is the hero in all of Sweden. Everybody loves him and his crazy idés. Everybody can relate to Stig H and his maners... Sällskapsresan is a movie that everybody enjoys and laughs about. This movie is 20 years old buy both young and old are still watching and enjoying this movie.

In the movie Stig H Olsson and his friend Ole Bramserud from Norway travels to the Canary Islands on a vacation along with other Swedes. Then we get to see how we tourists behave ourselfs. It´s not always so rational and logical behavior. Watch this movie it´s definitely worth it!

Sällskapsresan is a work from a true genious: Lasse Åberg.

In this movie he makes fun of all typical charter-tourists who became a large group in the late 70's during the charter-boom in Sweden. The characters he has created are very special in their kind of way. We have for example two semi-alcoholics, one typical "swedish-couple", one norwegian, one swedish and two teenage sprited middle-aged women who are looking for fun and pleasure in their holiday. All these characters blend real good as Lasse adds a sort of calmness with his Winnie the Pooh-ish character Stig-Helmer.

This movie has been watched and amused by the whole population of Sweden. Still, 21 years after its release, it's still a very, VERY funny movie to watch as the people in the movie still exists on charter-trips.

A gifted mans masterpiece and gift to the people of Sweden.
