Director Kari Ketonen does a good job, getting things to eloquently fall into place. His silver screen take on a TV series has the original main cast onboard. This is one way to successfully avoid miss casting and participate in building a good reputation for home country produced films. The spectacle's main character is a corporate ladder climber. He finds himself in some sort of panic attack and is poor on positive traits. Meaning, we root for a loser who gambles, using his family as stakes and this makes his journey challenging to digest. This negativity spooks away the kind of comedy that I would appreciate. Hollywood uses this approach surprisingly often, so there must be an appreciative audience out there somewhere. My favorite moments are delivered by the supporting characters that sometimes are totally spot on.
