Here we go! One of the best Swedish movies of all times. This is a group of thieves with a mission to steal money and alike but with a very funny twist. I don't know if there are any words that can describe this movie in an honest way. Probably this needs to be watched to understand it. Language is in Swedish though so all jokes might not be understandable for non-Swedish viewers. But I can almost guarantee that for most of you this is definitely worth to be watched.
There is alot of "Jönssonligan" movies. Some are newer with other characters and there are also kids versions. I believe that there are also versions in other countries. Basically the story is built from a danish version that I think is called Olsen-Banden. But this is the first Swedish version.
It is not a very rapid movie but it is basically built up on jokes all the time so it never gets boring. At the same time their mission is sometimes very serious. I want to compare the feeling of the movie with the first "Beverly Hills Cop" movie. The balanced mix of something serious and something fun. But this is really more towards the fun side all the time. I guess it is also more crazy and they are acting more stupid I'd say, but in a very funny way.
Here you can also see how Stockholm (Swedens Capital) looked like around the 1980's. The tempo is alot calmer than today I suppose but it goes well with the amazing script by Mikael Ekman. A true classic movie for many Swedish people so if you want to see just one Swedish movie this might be it!
