Review by henfo

I had read the reviews expected it to be a good and funny film. I was _really_ disappointed. The film is advertised as some kind of romantic comedy, but is nothing of the sort. The only funny thing in it is the dog who appears for about five minutes.

Ok, so it was marketed the wrong way, but maybe it was good anyway? Nope. I don't think so.

The film is set in rural Sweden and watching it I had the distinct feeling that the movie was made by a bunch of people who have spent all their lives in down town Stockholm. Maybe they have once seen the countryside on a photo. The film and the characters in it just don't feel real! And all of them speak with a strong Stockholm accent.

Watching it I felt very irritated by how people living in the country side and smaller communities where depicted. Some kind of Swedish-style rednecks all of them, always wearing dirty, tattered clothes. The furniture, curtains and wall papers 70's style. The yards full of wrecked cars and everything looking poor, badly worn and tasteless.

Regardless of that, my main criticism is that the movie is so boring and very, very slow. I constantly checked my watch and the seconds just seemed to drag on.
