    Old and mettlesome land on their feet

    This is a funny Estonian comedy based on the popular radio and TV series. In the film, two radio hosts, Norm and Mill (skilfully played by Henrik Normann and Madis Milling), create a show where they play many different characters-both men and women. This makes the film very entertaining, but primarily for Estonians who know the background of the series.

    The humour is very local, and some jokes might be hard to understand if you don't know Estonian culture or history. Still, the acting is great, especially since the same two actors play all the main roles. The film shows real people with real problems, but in a light and silly way.

    For most Estonians, this film is likely a solid 8 at least. For others, it might be a strange but enjoyable experience. It's a unique comedy that's worth checking out if you're looking for something different and are eager to get to know or recall how life in rural Estonia was far before joining the EU...

    Good comedy, but maybe funny only for Estonians

    The movie is based on the comedy serial "Vanad ja kobedad", where two guys were playing all the characters, also women characters, which made it real funny. The serials themselves were originally radio-shows, with voice characters same as the ones in serials and the movie.

    Plot in the movie is as follows: Two radiomen are making the radio-show based on their imaginary characters Valdur - man in the house, well actually much controlled by his wife Maie. Valdur has a friend called Väino, who has some drinking problems. Maie has a friend called Silvi, who has some men-problems. Silvi even likes Väino, but that's probably because almost no other men even look towards Silvi. Maie doesn't like Väino, because of it's illness with vodka, but in this movie Väino finally gets his own house, so Maie will have some small respect for him. As Väino has a house, he needs someone who could deal with a house - a woman. So he tries to find one from newspapers... well actually Maie tries to find him a woman. There are also other characters added to original idea. Some locals and well... you have to see it yourself, I can't retell you everything.

    It's ridiculously funny for Estonians, to see the perfect actors Henrik Normann and Madis Milling just doing their job, but it might be funny for non Estonians too, or at least something very different to your ordinary movies. Watch it (no idea where you could get the copy) and give IMDb feedback yourself. As for Estonians this movie is at least 8/10, but for you?

    LAUGH YOUR EYES WET :)

    I`m Estonian and for me the movie really is excellent. The style, surroundings, characters and the ability to make jokes on usual topics that follow persons in their life. When I first saw the movie, I joint it in the middle. That time I only laughed but second time that I watched it from the beginning to the end I really received the whole idea. I suggest the movie to people that have some knowledges of Estonian historical background(some of the jokes might be misunderstood or you might not understand it at all).
