Hip hip hora!

This is a Swedish film about three friends who are going to switch to 7th grade after their summer holiday. The friends are all girls and one of them is really looking forward to becoming an "adult" as she sees it. They are going to party and get boyfriends and all that comes with it. She tries to hit on this cool guy in the 9th grade and it results in her being invited to a party. During the party she hooks with a guy and becomes way too drunk, it all ends up in her collapsing on the floor and the 9th grade guys start taking pictures of her. The pictures spread through the school like a fire and she becomes a slut in the eyes of many students. The film is about the friends relationship with each other and how one changes during this period in life. The movie is somewhat predictable but its a nice ride all the way through! I recommend it! 8/10

This film deals with many problems that teenagers go through growing up. These are dealt with in a realistic way, unlike Hollywood films where everybody rides around in BMW's and dresses in designer clothes. The actress that plays the lead in the film gives a stunning performance. The film does contain a few clichés, but if it was not for these I do not think it would of become so popular and probably never released outside of Finland. The music really sets the tone for the piece and captures the zeitgeist. I think both the director and some of the actors have bright futures ahead of them. Go and see this film and decide what you think.

It's not the best movie ever but it's very good. It's emotional and interesting. Fake friends, alcohol, body shaming and sexual pictures are a part of this movie. It's not the most realistic all the time but what happens too her in the movie happens to a lot of teenagers. It has an important message and I would recommend it.

'Hip Hip Hora' is a Swedish movie with a good message - but it does not have what it takes to succeed into the viewers hearts. It reminds a whole lot of "Fucking Åmål", who is also a movie about the teenage youth, the search of who you really are and everything who comes with it. This piece feels like a wannabe piece of "Fucking Åmål", less attractive but with the same message bound into a different story with different characters. The worst thing is that I think the main actress really sucks, but instead all other actors around her do their job supreme, big up's for unknown actors who completes their task like this! In general, it felt like a Hollywood piece and I'm not going to see this one again. OK it's worth it's shot, it has a good message but it lacks that magic that makes us remember it.

I'm not going to waste more than one paragraph on this rubbish. It's just one of those movies, among many, that make you ashamed to be Swedish. Why do we have to put up with steaming crap like this, let alone praise it? It's NOT realistic, it's merely a Swedish remake of the equally pseudo-shocking "Thirteen", only with a dumber sense of humour and minus the hotness of Evan Rachel Wood. The plot is dull, the jokes are mind-numbing (not to mention incredibly awkward and out of place in a movie which supposedly portrays teenage life as it really is), the performances sub-par. I don't know what else to say except don't see this and watch Torkel i Knipa instead. It's a movie about teenage life which is easier to relate to, much funnier, and oh, it doesn't suck. Unsurprisingly that film came from Denmark, a country which is so much better at movie-making than Sweden, it's embarrassing.
