This film is good but it's not a classic. I like Mikael in the leading role because he is a great actor that gives everything on screen. Finally I like to say that Hasse P I a true hero because he shows in the movie that everything is possible.
I don´t like Filip and Fredrik very much and thought I was in for 90 minutes of political mess but I actually really liked the movie.
Persbrandts performance really lifts the movie and the script is believable and realistic. Well-written. Actually all main actors and actresses feels genuine. Good casting.
The parts with Filip and his father is in my opinion the weakest link but not enough to bring any shame to the movie.
This is the first time I experience Filip and Fredrik as humble instead of being condescending or making of fun of odd characters.
Well done.
Tycker förresten att det ironiskt att de småstadsfolket hatar mest med stadsbor eller Stockholmare, är i princip förkroppsligat av Filip och Fredrik.

A top movie. The book was ok but the movie was faboulos. And I have never seen Helena Bergström so good.
The movie nearly overflows with great acting parts. The best Swedish movie in years.
This is one of the Sweden funniest Movie and Helena Bergström is ok for the first time
This was one of the movies I was most looking forward to at our local international film festival. But it disappointed. It went the route of being quirky for quirky's sake, rather than build up three dimensional characters. (This has been a growing problem with a segment of recent Scandinavian comedies, unfortunately.)
Minor note. The story turns out to be based on a real case, and at the end of the movie, they showed pictures of the actors next to pictures of the characters -- period pictures when they had them. It was impressive how hard the filmmatkers worked to match the looks of the real characters.
