3/10
It lacks something essential
27 May 2000
Allright, Hobert have aroused great expectations after good work like "Glädjekällan" and "Ögat" but the fact that this film makes me feel nothing can't just be a result of overexpectations. The idea is not too bad, the actors (at least Stangertz and Lundén) do their job but it just doesn't help. Maybe it is just too hard to do seven movies in eight years, or when you do it with the same characters it just tend to get "soapish". Now and then Hobert's geniality beams forth but it never comes out entirely. When it comes to some ingredients, for example, Michaels relation to his "secret" daughter you just wait for it to be developed but it never is. And, sorry to say, Hobert also gives in to the (among swedish critics) common notion that "if a film contains no vulgarities it can't be no good".
