En gång i Phuket

This movie really shows how amazing Mr Magnusson is.

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.

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

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

I watched that movie in 2012 and thought what a great movie. Then I came across IMDB rating and got a shock that it's just rate 5,6. Somehow, Swedish people really underrate their movies alot. It's a very light, happy feeling movie. It always bring smile on your face and reminds me my time in Stockholm during Christmas and new year. Sven was absolutely masterclass in his role but my fav charachter was that Norwegian girl. Makes me laught everytime and I think about the scene with the dog and their first night together :) I hope Peter Magnusson will make more movies with such a light topic and keep us smiling.
