I have wanted to see this for awhile and it recently got out on Netflix.
This was actully pretty funny sometimes and very lame sometimes. The plot is pretty good and includes typical Swedish humor and wicked situations.
However it includes alot of political correctness and that makes it a bit boring sometimes. But otherwise is is successful with its mission of being funny and a wicked entertaining thriller.
The manuscript is however extremely bad and not realistic at all i think. Acting also fails sometimes.
Its a film thats very easy to watch and something i would recommend watching on a rainy Sunday. Not good, not bad.

I'd say the idea is funny and relatable. The narrating voice is fast paced thus keeping you to the story at all times. The narrating becomes a little over the top at times. The comedy is great fun if you understand the jokes pointed att Swedish norms and society. Especially if you know imigrants in here youreself.
Altough this, the whole production lacks seriousness it works at times. The acting is not good but bearable. It makes a good late night laugh. But this movie probably suit Swedes better, Sweden living abroad for years will probably not get the humour neither as foreigners.

The movie had potential with fresh tempo and promising story development. But after an hour, the movie shifts completely to borderline stupidity and forgets all sense of logic. The direction it takes does enough damage for you to seriously think about turning the movie off.
Absolutely madness from the script writer, and the production company, to actually decide that they wanted to go down that route.
It went from a promising story to a complete train wreck. Such a shame. And as a Swede, I feel embarrassed.

The first half of the movie was promising and kept you interested with relatively funny political and society-based jokes. But henceforward the movie gradually became less interesting with its romanticized ending, a few plain and weird scenes and various logical flaws.
The lead role seemed a bit too silly while there were not any witty or somewhat sound characters in the movie which made it all seem like a bad parody of the Swedish society in whole, especially upperclass society.
The movie had some famous Swedish actors that did reasonable acting but it mostly felt as if they were included only because of their industry names to gain more recognition for the movie. They did not really play important roles.
In conclusion the movie had a lot of potential and could have been more focused on the Swedish immigrants exclusion and their will to be accepted by the Swedish society which would have contributed to the movie's importance and meaning. The movie did seem rather pointless beside from its social and political question formulations.

I really liked the idea and enjoyed the movie the first hour. But the ending was so bad that I wondered if they even had finished the manuscript or just came up with some weird ideas while being drunk. Shame for ruining such a fun idea and what could have been a great movie.

- GoofsThe odds that Isabell wouldn't had never seen "Sebastian" without his blue contact lenses are rather impossible, since most lenses are visible if you look person's eyes close enough, and contact lenses needs to be removed before going to sleep.
