Review:
A very good movie. We watched this in my Swedish class and I liked it so much I made Fredrik watch it, too. :)

It is funny, and a little sad, too.

The actors do a great job.

This movie is supposed to take place in Bengtsfors, Sweden -- which is near the summerhouse, one of the closest towns near the summerhouse. My parents have even been there. :/ :) So, we've spent a lot of time there, which is also another fun reason to see it. :)

But it is a very good movie - I definately recommend it. Probably difficult to find if you aren't in Sweden or Europe. Language is in Swedish. But I'm sure if you find a copy in the States it would have English subtitles or even be dubbed.

Only deserves a:
