Swede Caroline

I had hoped for a relaxing, undemanding and quintessentially British spoof. What a disappointment. The script was devoid of real belly laughs, raising at best a few stifled grunts from the audience ( which could have been snores, because I found my own eyelids drooping at times). And I may be out of fashion these days, but using the word 'fu***ing' so often doesn't actually make the script any funnier, as the shock factor has long lost its effect.

But the really damning verdict is the script's unremitting amateurishness. It is what one might expect from second-year students on a drama degree course at one of the UK's lesser known universities.

Swede Caroline is the world's biggest turnip!

It is a very amateurish affair just a cut above fart jokes. And no one in the audience laughed beyond a mild chuckle, which were few and far between.

The hightlight of the movie was the John Cooper Clark track towards the end of film, which was cleverly written and delivered, and it garnered the most laughs from the audience. The rest of the soundtrack was good too.

In part, I grew up on a working farm and had my own allotment for many years, and I've had better laughs digging in the drenching rain on a Sunday afternoon.

Part of the draw to see watch this steaming heap of compost was the cast, but they were severely restricted by their poorly defined characters and poor script.

A comedy gem - wonderfully absurd!

Swede Caroline is a hilarious mockumentary that feels both fresh and quintessentially British, following a community obsessed with competitive vegetable growing.

Jo Hartley is brilliant as the lead, bringing charm and authenticity to her role as Caroline, making you root for her from start to finish. Every supporting character is more delightfully odd than the last, creating a world that feels at once completely ridiculous but also entirely relatable.

The mockumentary format is used perfectly to capture the small-town rivalries, personal ambitions and hilarious character quirks throughout. The brilliant writing and clever dialogue, delivered with pitch-perfect timing makes this a real joy to watch.

A must-watch for anyone who loves a smart, character-driven comedy. It's a story with a lot of heart, all wrapped up in a world of giant vegetables. Proving that the best comedies are homegrown!

Swede Caroline is a raw and refreshingly funny British comedy that doesn't hold back. It tells the story of Caroline navigating a whirlwind of unpredictable events, mixing moments of chaos with humor that feels effortless. The comedy isn't overworked-it's natural and flows perfectly with the situations Caroline faces. One of the film's standout features is its soundtrack-it's that good. Watch it with Shazam ready, I would. The songs perfectly match the energy of the film's wild, unpredictable ride...

Swede Caroline is a real gem worth watching.

I need to right a few more words to pass the minimum required.

Such a funny movie - one of the best mockumentaries that has come from England in a long time. Would highly recommend watching it!

The movie explores the bizarre world of competitive veg growing - full of interesting and hilarious characters. The writing is so clever and humorous which makes it a joy to watch.

The film shines thanks to its witty script and endearing performances. Jo Hartley's portrayal of Caroline is a standout, blending innocence and determination in a way that makes her both relatable and utterly lovable.

It's quirky, original, and filled with laughs, making it a standout in the comedy genre. Whether you're a fan of British humor or just looking for a film that will make you smile, "Swede Caroline" is sure to deliver.
