brendan n This is one of those films that provide enough set pieces to pay off the simplistic plot. The films grows more outlandish by the minute and even when you think it's about to go on the straight and narrow, it takes another absurd turn. Is it a genre defining movie? No. It is a film that ticks the right boxes and is fun in the process. Likable characters and a cray plot that allows the film to go in any crazy direction. Not for everyone, but it is funny and outlandish. 22/06/2019 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy-simple plot with a cute ending Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Another Road Trip comedy film, Finnish-Style! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Mad, but in many ways kind of real. Stuff that could happen and for sure does happen, in places, to people. Things friends do for one another. And their ladies, mothers or russian tourists. Entertaining in a campish way, but really... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a really positive surprise for a Finnish film. It's a crazy comedy and goes a bit too far at times. I especially want to warn sensitive people; there is a brutal reindeer killing scene. The fake dialect is also pretty horrendous. But the cast is brilliant; especially Jussi Vatanen and Timo Lavikainen are sympathetic, and perfectly pathetic. I, at least, thoroughly enjoyed this film and laughed a lot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the funniest, most hilarious, outrageous, insane, completely crazy movies I have ever seen. It is a tale that can only come from a winter country like Finnish Lapland. You probably need to like such scenarios or know about Finland in order to fully appreciate the humour of this film, but if you do, you will be rewarded with a marvellous piece of film. Trust me. ;) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
