Leslie Felperin Variety [Makela] transmutes babyfaced Nykanen's slow descent into alcoholism and later move into pop music into a darkly comic picaresque. Apr 25, 2006 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net In this film, Matti inspires the kind of love despite all faults that most parents feel for their children - a sentiment likely spurred on by Paakkonen's voluptuous helpings of baby fat.

Audience Member <center><i>''Elämä on ihmisen parasta aikaa.'' ''Life is the best time of your life.''</i> <b>- Matti Nykänen.</b></center> Interesting movie about the tragic life of the Finnish hero, Ski-jumper, Matti Nykänen. It's an entertaining, yet a sad, long hell ride to see some of what Matti has been through as a person. It's quite the journey, filled with drama, manipulation, scandals, media lies and so on. He goes through many tedious things to get off debt as well. I thought it was an alright film and nonetheless, very interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Officially, Matti has been humiliated. Not done by himself, by someone else, named by Jasper. Congratulations. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Yllättävän hauska! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Just joo... Vuoden eka katsottu leffa ja oliskohan leffavuosi huonommin alkaa? Tuskin. Leffan idea oli vissiin ympätä kaikki Matin klisee-kommentit ruudulle ilman sen kummempaa tarinankerrontaa tms. Ns. "juoni" hyppi eteenpäin miten sattui eikä todellakaan tuonut kovin kummoista katselunautintoa. Muutamia hauskojakin kohtia sentään löytyi mutta tulipahan taas muistutus siitä, ettei pidä katsella kotimaisia leffoja taas vähään aikaan. Ehkä sitten ensi vuonna seuraavaksi... Jos silloinkaan... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe I watched this shit as long as I did. Review is actually not necessary with this one, as everyone in Finland knows what this movie is about and has seen it already if the subject matter is interesting to them. Everyone else should do something else with their lives. I will still write something, though, because I am a pest. Finnish cinema has an annoying problem. There are basically five actors and actresses that are used in every fucking movie, like there is literally no one else on the planet. I mean, Viggo Mortensen is an awesome actor, but I wouldn't want to see even him in every film, not to even mention these Finnish thespians. The other problem is a slightly bigger one. We make crappy movies. There, I said it. This is not even a proper biopic, which means it is probably unauthorized. That leads to stupid fictive elements that I hated, like changing some names and shit. They just wanted to make a movie to make money with the dude's name. But I have wasted too much of my time for this movie already. Really shitty start to the new year for me, I really hope this is not a sign of things to come. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Elokuva on ylipitka pokale rellestavista juoppolalleista joita on Suomessa jo muutenkin liikaa. Pakko antaa kokonainen tahti, koska huumori à la Aleksi Makela sai naurahtamaan aina valilla. Muuten melko vastenmielista katsottavaa. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
