Since people in Sweden hardly ever go to the movies, I can partly understand that they think this is such a funny and nice little movie. In a way, it is. If you look a bit closer however, you will see that there are a number of flaws.
The script could use a whole lot more work. For some reason I can never understand, the characters start running at different parts in the film. They are spontaneously started to get chased by someone and therefore begin to run. This works fine in Warner Bros cartoons. But in a movie which remotely in any way is going to depict reality, no. Fares should have left this for his action movie that evidently is going to be his next project. The dialogue and the "funny" parts are other problems too. The comedy revolves mostly around the male reproduction organ, and the main character's dad using his big belly to ward of people he dislikes.
Some of the actors are not at all convincing, I hate to say it but it adds to the amateurishness of this production. Which I can live with to a certain extent however, since it is director Josef Fares' first real movie. It's still funny at times, Tuva Novotny carries her part great, but I want much more from Fares' next action movie to not feel let down.
