If you know any of the old Norse "Ole and Lena" (Norwegian or Swedish jokes akin to "Polish jokes"), you will understand this updated illustration of the tendency of Scandinavians to be tricked or embarrass themselves. [saying this being one] This story gives the audience an interesting ride that is both exhilarating and painful - and definitely original.

A young upwardly-mobile couple get sucked into a downward, terrifying spiral that ends up changing their lives in a number of positive ways.

Kudos on a great story, fine sense of struggle, nice direction and wonderful performances. Absolutely well worth watching if not one of the best foreign films I've seen in the past year.

Tiina Lymi and Petteri Summanen does great acting here, if you like humor this is some of the best from Finland. Underestimated comedy that has also lots of real things about society in Europe, how can things go wrong even if it should be easy to get up from grave.

Actually you need to have some sort of brains to understand the humor of the movie, its not just some simple crappy story with good laughs, its deep and funny, very enjoyable.

DVD also have good music video from the band Egotrippi. Nice lyrics and though.

I truly love this kinda films, I'm on information technology business and so on, I get the jokes and everything about the film.

Great acting, directing, the script all together all magnificent, this is truly an original movie, no other like this. Also soundtrack is brilliantly put together for the movie.

Thats only my opinion and hopefully you'll enjoy the film :) I don't really can get lot's of minuses, maybe not so international movie but still great. If you are Finnish and like humor you've gotta see this one.

9/10

The performance is nice by both lead characters. story plot is also seem nice and new. but it gets kinda little stupid in the end. i really wished that idea of wife being adulterous should not be part of plot.

------------------------------------------spoilers------------------------------

So the story is about a married couple (not very rich) who want to have vacation or spice the marriage by going to experience as a poor family. but they got conned by their agent.

The story so far is very good, but the idea of the wife having an affair ? yeh she starts to like that young stud , when she went to his apartment for food , there she likes his kitchen and looks . and even she couldn't resists. so she felt ONLY regret because she got caught. and then she got pregnant too. but in the end both reconcile in the end. and got back their home.

This movie is so mild! I tried not to expect anything greater from this film, but still it was a big disappointment. The basic idea of the story is interesting and potential. This could have been so much better. The characters are really simple, no depth at all. It's a shame that previously talented performers Tiina Lymi and Petteri Summanen didn't make the already poor characters any better. The director just don't get the watcher emotionally involved at all with this piece of cr*p.

And the the chase sequence at the end of the movie. That's hideous!!!

Why there had to be so stupid and old solution for that situation?

It's too much used element with even more terrible way of filming it. OH NO!

...so if you don't get easily upset at how stupid someone can be, i guess the movie can be funny. otherwise, it's just horribly dumb. yes, there are the usual "lessons" to be picked up at the film; it is not completely trash... it's just dumb. that's all. i don't know these actors, it's the first time i have ever seen them but they seem like they can do something so much more, something better. maybe they should have inserted some sense of reality in the film... like making them less dumb, because i really don't think someone can be that gullible. if the director's intention was to make it a mild, feel-good kind of movie, he should have skipped all the drama and the betrayal in it, but then, what would become of the story?
