I nöd eller lust

Very funny and witty script written by Monika Rolfner about a Swedish wedding. The parody of the bride's parents is very funny, and marvelously acted by Katarina Ewerlöf and Johan Ulveson. The constant but sometimes witty nagging between the mother's sister and her husband is a red thread that goes through the whole movie, and is a provocative criticism of modern Swedish family life where the wife often prioritizes her work before the family. The working class husband is funnily acted by Peter Magnusson. Kjell Sundvall directs the movie with a steady hand except for a few shots with actress Ida Engvoll, as the bride's friend, that is very bad indeed. Some of the moments in the film with Ida Engvoll are like taken from a horror movie, and seem totally displaced in a comedy. The casting could have been better with a few characters severely miscasted. However, there are also funny performances in the movie from Sigrid Johnson, Dan Ekborg, Per Myrberg, Sten Ljunggren, Anita Wall, Ia Langhammer and Suzanne Reuter so the movie is mostly very funny to watch. The cinematography and costumes are also done with perfection so the total movie experience is very good. 9/10

One of thousands of attempts to ridicule a higher old-fashioned morality. Vulgar and embarrassing. They go mainstream and try to score points by fooling the audience. Free morals without responsibility.

It would have been much more interesting if they had dared to stick their chin out and preserve the advantages of values such as loyalty and respect.

A few lines in the introduction made me laugh, so not the lowest rating.

Besides the embarrassing agenda behind the script, it is remarkable that it fails to create any funny situations, despite the presence of well-known actors. Och jag är svensk.

I love Swedish comedies. This is one of the poorest comedies I have ever watched. Avoid this one.

So, where should I begin. This "comedy" was one of the worst movies I've seen. I usually enjoy Swedish comedies, and this movie looked promising with many funny Swedish actors and the director Kjell Sundvall who has both "Tomten är far till alla barnen" and "Jägarna" on his resume. This movie also seemed like Kjell Sundvall was trying to make a new "Tomten är far till alla barnen" with many of the same actors from that movie, Dan Ekborg basically playing the same booze drinking character once again and last but not least the same kind of disputes. This movie fails in so many ways because it's so poorly written and it feels like they just made everything in a hurry. Terrible dialogues, terrible acting, terrible jokes, terrible camera work, terrible story and almost no character development at all. Some of the characters are just copies of previous characters from Kjell Sundvall's earlier project. Dan Ekborg as I mentioned, but also the character Fredrik who is played by Johan Ulvesson. Johan Ulvesson basically plays his character from the show "C/O Segemyhr" who's name is also Fredrik which just makes it all even more embarrassing. This movie made me cringe more than it made me laugh just because it's so poorly made, from the beginning to the end. The only reason why I gave it a 2/10 instead of 1/10 is because of the ensemble cast and because of the few laughs that I actually got from the movie.

There are alot of critics out there, and i want to silence them all! this movie does what few can,by blending comedy and sentimentality perfectly and artfully. following a relationship edging closer to the end, a desperate man tries to save what familial dignity he has without resorting to the truth,as he knows the truth will destroy everything. great acting without resorting to any cheap shots and without any plagiarism. 10/10 //Francki
