I like romantic comedies. Sadly this is not one. It is not funny, and not romantic, though it tries to be both.

Hugh and Sandras characters are purely one dimensional. You do not identify with any of them, and besides that the plot is so small it is almost non existing.

Susanne Bier achieved great fame in Denmark for her previous movie "Den eneste ene" so her new movie was eagerly anticipated in Denmark even though it was in Swedish.

It is a new comedy about everyday people. This time it is about a woman who is crazy about "Melodi Festivalan", a song contest for pop music. Helena Bergström is simply wonderful as the main character and it is mainly because of her that the movie is bearable.

Otherwise the movie is predictable, so sweet it is bad for your teeth and with a ending that might been played down a notch or two.
