This is a very funny movie! I have no idea whether it translates well into other languages or not. However, I do think men all over the world can identify with "Frank" and his thoughts to some extent! These thoughts are hugely entertaining and women will also enjoy this movie I'm sure!
All cast members perform well, and this film could have been a tremendous hit all over the world if it was made in England or the US. But for those of you who are fortunate enough to understand Swedish, you are in for a treat!
Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.
This is a wonderful film... First impressions of cynicism and crassness are soon dissipated by a fun loving display of how men and women's baser motivations diverge (Vive la difference !)
You can love people despite and sometimes because of their weaknesses. Human beings are a bit rubbish really, but we have big hearts and we try our best, despite temptation. It's not our fault when sometimes temptation can't be resisted, that's just who we are.
There is a consistent stylishness from start to finish; crisp photography and sharp composition, very pleasant viewing when you add provocative content, well suited music and laugh out loud scripting.
Watch out for the very young "lone wise voice"... brilliant; wisdom from innocence balancing comedy from the human condition.

I like this movie, because I can see myself in many scenes, like when you see a girl on the street, and wonder how it would be... First when I saw it was a Swedish movie, I was a bit sceptic, because many Swedish movies are strange and boring, not all of them of course! But I really recommend it!
This is truly the greatest Swedish movie of all time. Not only is it revolutionary in its narration, but its also among the first movies to feature the next generation of Swedish humor and Swedish comedians. Felix Herngren and Fredrik Lindström are two of the most intelligent and witty filmmakers in Sweden today, and this film really puts that on display.
"Vuxna människor" (Adult People) is a warm-hearted and hilarious story about adulthood, and the question if we wouldn´t be better off without it.

For me this is a story that starts with some funny jokes regarding Franks fanatasies when he is travelling with a staircase and when he is sitting in business meetings... The problem is that when you have been watching this movie for an hour you will see the same fantasies/funny situations again and again and again. It is to predictable. It is more done as a TV story where you can go away and come back without missing anything.
I like Felix Herngren as Frank but that is not enough even when it is a comedy it has to have more variations and some kind of message to it's audience....

- TriviaWhen Sofia calls Frank on his cell phone at home, she really does call him, from the other room.
- GoofsThe spelling "Philgren" would in Swedish normally indicate pronunciation with an F. An adequate "fancy" spelling of "Pilgren" would rather be Pihlgren.
In the TV series sequel that has followed the movie in 2022, Frank's name is indeed spelled Pihlgren.
