Göta kanal 2 - Kanalkampen

This is the follow up to the 1981 classic Göta Kanal or Vem drog ur proppen? I can't believe how stupid this movie was. The script seems to be have been written by a 10 year old. It must be the case cause how many adults laugh their heads of to some minor boat accidents? Not me. I think i smiled once or twice, and that is not good when you watch a comedy is it? To be fair the first one from 1981 wasn't that great either but that one at least had good feel to it. The most annoying thing about this movie is the terrible acting though. I am guessing Lena Endre was paid quite good to appear in this farse. Janne Loffe Carlsson isn't funny anymore either. It's a shame that this one was a big success. Thats the reason why they made an even worse movie than this one. 1 out of 10

(Review in English, since Swedish is not allowed)

I saw this movie with extremely low expectations, and I can sadly inform you that the movie barely lived up to them.

As much as I loved to see Janne "Loffe" Karlsson on the big screen again, the writers should have realized early in the scriptwriting process that seven people falling into the water, isn't original or funny. The story is very thin and the jokes are used and predictable, the ones that ain't, is just plain boring. I smiled like three times during the entire film.

The placement of Swedish Findus products is (unintentionally) funny, why not just a big sign saying; "Findus made it happen!".

Göta Kanal 2 doesn't need to be seen at the cinema or on DVD, just wait for it to air on TV, it wont take too long.

This movie is one exception of the rule that a sequel is worser than the original. Its comedy at its best. This movie is a fast action slapstick comedy where something seems to happened every second. At more than one occasion the entire audience laughed loudly at a joke.

Its a big advantage to have seen the first movie but its not a requirement.

Göta kanal 2 also have the advantage of being a parody on the latest decades reality production TV series such as survivor (expediton: Robinson in Swedish) This is a Swedish movie for the Swedish audience. Thus don't see it if you aren't familiar with Sweden and its language. Otherwise: Have fun! Johan

...for one of the worst Swedish movies ever...forgive me for being dull.

First of all i haven't seen the first one (i was bored that's my reason for watching the 2nd before the 1st one), well i hope the first one is better than this, it was filled with weird cut scenes and very strange plot changes, For the people that have seen this and think 4/10 is high (belive me so do i), but it made me laugh a few times, because it was so bizarre so bad and i still laugh thinking of the punk that came up with this idea, what's next "Det sjunde inseglet II". Sequels not based on novel or book doesn't turning out great to often, and this is a perfect example of one.

OK i'm gonna be honest with you: i did laugh a bit, it got a few decent jokes in it and slapstick humor. But don't buy it, rent it. Just let some other idiot do it or download it.

4/10 This movie will be remembered and the director is probably laughed out already...

The story line was very straight forward and easy to follow and contained a lot of no-brainer comedy to a point where it just got boring. Some of the audience seemed to find it funny but I like more intelligent humor.

There were several known Swedish actors in the movie and their performance were decent considering the script. Lena Endre was good looking as always.

I don't remember the original movie so I can't say if it's better or worse.

If you enjoy movies like Sällskapsresan this movie might be worth taking a look at.
