Review:
We've been trying to see this movie for some time now, but they finally showed it on TV right before Christmas.

It is a hilarious movie, too! Definately worth the time to see.
It is difficult to rate it, though, because it is funny - and I really doubt it could be any better than what it is, but how to compare it to other movies like it is challenging.
It is a good comedy, and that is saying a lot since it is Swedish. :)

Definately worth watching! The beginning is a little boring, but once they get on the water, it is a blast. :)

Not sure about the translated title (Who Pulled the Plug) .. makes no sense whatsoever. :/ :) The "Göta Kanal" is a canal in Sweden that runs from Norrköping to Göteborg (Gothenburg).

This is a Swedish classic.

Language is in Swedish, probably available with subtitles somewhere.
