Hip hip hora!

This is a Swedish film about three friends who are going to switch to 7th grade after their summer holiday. The friends are all girls and one of them is really looking forward to becoming an "adult" as she sees it. They are going to party and get boyfriends and all that comes with it. She tries to hit on this cool guy in the 9th grade and it results in her being invited to a party. During the party she hooks with a guy and becomes way too drunk, it all ends up in her collapsing on the floor and the 9th grade guys start taking pictures of her. The pictures spread through the school like a fire and she becomes a slut in the eyes of many students. The film is about the friends relationship with each other and how one changes during this period in life. The movie is somewhat predictable but its a nice ride all the way through! I recommend it! 8/10

A wonderful movie about the teenage girl Sofie that has just started high school and walks into the world of growing up. Sofie goes to a party where she and her friends gets a little bit too much to drink, especially Sofie that falls asleep. While Sofie is sleeping some guys from school is taking pictures of her naked under her skirt. The next day when she wakes up and goes to school she find out that everybody is calling her for a whore and talking lies and bullshit behind her back. Not even her friends are helping her anymore, she lost it all. Its a beautiful movie about being a teenager and learning about friendship and love. Just have to see it!!

'Hip Hip Hora' is a Swedish movie with a good message - but it does not have what it takes to succeed into the viewers hearts. It reminds a whole lot of "Fucking Åmål", who is also a movie about the teenage youth, the search of who you really are and everything who comes with it. This piece feels like a wannabe piece of "Fucking Åmål", less attractive but with the same message bound into a different story with different characters. The worst thing is that I think the main actress really sucks, but instead all other actors around her do their job supreme, big up's for unknown actors who completes their task like this! In general, it felt like a Hollywood piece and I'm not going to see this one again. OK it's worth it's shot, it has a good message but it lacks that magic that makes us remember it.

I saw this movie a couple of days ago with my girlfriend and I must say it is sad but true. The movie that is directed by Teresa Fabik shows that she knows what she is talking about, it's sad and chocking that the society is like this (at least in Sweden). The movie tells the truth that nobody wants to talk about, how girls in schools (not only in schools) have to find themselves as sexual objects that boys/men can do what they please with and then get away with it as common behavior.

I would urge all schools in Sweden to show this movie in an educational purpose. I would rate this movie 10/10 no doubt about it.

... this was NOT a good teenage movie: this was a good movie, period! A very good movie. Looks like there is a very fine tradition for intelligent and sensible teenage movies on the make right now in Sweden, and I am thinking of Lukas Moodysson's "Show Me Love" (everybody knows the original title I suppose...). Anyway, back to Teresa Fabik's film. Poignant, forceful, amusing, clever, well-structured. Amazing direction, amazing young actors, not to mention a gorgeous Amanda Renberg. With great performances. Not for the faint-hearted who are afraid to face to what their children have to face every day, not for those who are looking for some light-weight entertainment, and certainly not for people who want their movies like their lives: black or white and nothing in between.
