09/26/2015 Diamo la sufficienza di incoraggiamento, il film si basa sulla difficoltà di uno straniero di sfuggire alla morsa del retaggio culturale della propria famiglia. Di film del genere e sono usciti molti negli anni 2000 (Sognando Beckham, ad esempio) e questo film si differenzia per la qualità medio-bassa, attori agghiaccianti e battute di basso livello (l'amico impotente del protagonista è qualcosa che abbassa molto il livello comico del film). L'ingenuità del film (dalla sceneggiature, alla regia fino alla recitazione) strappa però un sorriso benevolo, come quando ti ritrovi ad ascoltare gli inutili ragionamenti di un bimbo stupido.

See more 07/04/2011 I hadn't seen any swedish comedy till this one and I thought it was well achived, natural, easy and sympathic humor; you can relate to Roro and Mans complications of life. All the situations are presented with grace and respect to the viewer, yet they managed to make you laugh for an hour and a half. I really enjoyed it. See more 05/11/2010 A swedish movie about a swedish guy who can't get an erection and an arabic guy who's in love with a swedish girl, but sadly is planned to marry an arabic one. Good, but not great. See more 05/11/2010 [b]Deception (2008)[/b] [color=green]3.5/10[/color] :rotten: : Insipid, insulting, and ineffective. Everything about this flick is by the numbers and completely lacks any kind of identity of its own. Not even Maggie Q in sheer black lingerie can save this dull nonsense. [b]Harry - He's Here To Help[/b] :fresh: [color=red]7.5/10[/color] [img]http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/6123/harrxx3.jpg[/img] Clumsy title notwithstanding, this is a rather competent, well put together French piece of Hitchcock inspired thriller. Troubled language teacher Michel runs into an old schoolmate Harold, who seems to have something of an obsession with Michel's old teenage creative writings. Harold, and his fiance Plum, meet Michel's wife Diane and their three children and there forms something of a slightly uneasy friendship of the moment. Then Harold decides it's time to help Michel find a happier life in which he can return to his writing... Marred slightly by being a tad drawn out - the pacing a little off - and a lack of perhaps any real suspense per se, [i]Harry[/i] succeeds through the nicely built atmosphere, and the credibility leant by the very real characters inhabiting this little part of France.

Throw in an impotent best friend, a somewhat pointless deaf mute, and some weird stuff about dogs' bollocks, and you have [i]Jalla! Jalla![/i] (aka, apparently, [i]The Best Man's Wedding[/i]). This isn't high art. It isn't deep. And it isn't terribly insightful - going lightly over the immigrant culture difference theme once more. But it [i]is[/i] funny, occasionally truly hilarious, and - just like Lisa - rather delightful. No beer necessary, but you might want to bring along your significant other...
