I love foregin films and today i have been on a Swedish tear. I came across this in reference to another film I had seen.
This is not at all my scene man but none the less I watched it and was absolutely entertained. I adore the fact that they point out Groundhog Day (one of my favourite films) within the movie to really enunciate the situation.
I mean think about it, what better way to pay homage to one of the greatest films of all time, by re-introducing it to an entirrely new era and age. Absolute kudos for the way this was brilliantly done.
The film itself was anything but typical. Instead of getting better things tend to gradually get worse, its amazing. It has some rather funny moments and i gotta say it took some balls for some of these scenes.
The cast were great and I love the adaptation figures from past to present. The casting was done quite well and everyone played their part perfectly.
I feel this deserves a much higher rating, based upon the overall quality. It moves along without skipping a beat it really does feel like you're back in 2002. I'm sure much more of it would be relatable if I was more coloquially in touch, but I got most of it regardless.
A truly enjoyable film that transcends generations. The ending especially, could rub you one way or the other. However the way it plays out is a testsment to the writing and something you don't expext, because you're too busy feeling however you feel about it.
Brilliantly done.
Entertainment Value 7.5/10
Overall Rating 8/10
A trip down memory lane or perhaps opening a time capsule. If you're a parent of teenagers, this might be a good way to bond and/or embarass yourself, for better or for awesome, depending on your level of humor.
