Naken

While watching this movie I found myself laughing loud now and then to all the funny comments and details. However, the movie gets kind of boring from time to time, there are just too many repetitions of the same jokes. If not a comedy masterpiece, this movie is at least really fun and should be watched by everyone with a sense of sick humor!

7/10

Swedish movies are usually a rare phenomenon in Hungarian cinemas, so I was pleased to see that Naken is already the second one this year. Although it is very far behind the recent Sånger från andra våningen (which is a magical movie!), it is still an enjoyable comedy. Originality is not the keyword here: the whole story is a Swedish remake of Groundhog Day and many of the gags are also taken from other movies. (However, it is anyway hard to show anything new in film-making and this is not really expected from a lightweight comedy.) The reason I liked this movie is that despite of all the copying there is more originality left in it than in a usual Hollywood comedy. Perhaps this is due to the fact that naked men are shown in a natural way (imagine how much work would be invested in a prudish Hollywood movie to cut the "thing" out), perhaps this is just the "exotic bonus" of movies made outside the mainstream movie-making countries: I liked the "Swedish taste" (or what I thought to be the "Swedish taste"). Obviously this excentric movie is not the best way to look into Swedish society, but in some scenes you still get a glimpse of it.

We all know the classic comedy Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray plays a man who has to re-live the same day over and over again. Since then, that same concept has been used and are still being used in movies. Though, this is the only Swedish movie I know of where they use the concept of letting the main character re-live the same day again and again without knowing why. The movie has to day achieved at least some cult status, which I actually think it deserves. It's not the best Swedish comedy ever made but you do get many laughs!

Loved it!!! You crazy swedes sure know how to make brilliant comedy, and this is no exception! "Ground Hog" day was great, but I actually liked this one better. Swedes make better comedy than Hollywood, or perhaps their humour is more appealing to me. They are not afraid to take things one step further, which is exactly what they did, and what made this movie better than "Ground Hog" !

Best of luck to the makers, as to future projects!
