    A funny little movie, with GREAT acting!

    A funny little film, wich was greatly acclaimed at the Gothenburg Film Festival 1999. Although I think it lacks a bit of the reality of its English equivalents (it has been compared to "The Full Monty"), it still is one of the best Swedish comedies in recent years. The films biggest asset - I think - is the ensemble; even if it is a rather light-hearted comedy, the actors take the film very seriuosly, and make the viewers time in the cinema-darkness a real pleasure.

    *sorry for spelling mistakes* This movie is good but it isn't the best movie in this genre. Björn Kjellman is a very good actor but his film Adam&Eva really sucks.

    But if you are a fan of Björns you really should see this movie. I give this movie 6 out of 10.
