| User Reviewp bI'm not much for swedish film, most of the time I get embarassed because it's so bad.. This one is actually good! Nyqvist is great! |
| User ReviewNitzan Bcute. although i really didn't like the actress |
| User ReviewLeena Lcity librarian meets a milk farmer, snobbyism does not go well with simple life in the country, nice clothes do nto fit in the barn, sex and passion, misery and a happy ending, of sorts anyway. Nothing special but well enjoyoable. |
| User ReviewHans TI don´t like romntic comedies. It´s a good movie, I can see that, but God made me this way |
| User ReviewMervi HA typical clash-between- different-lifestyles-movie. Not bad at all tough, but you've seen this before... many times! |
| User ReviewUrban JJag vet inte om boken var bättre? Bägge är väl kanske: "jaha den var ju bra" |
| User ReviewJanne FA romantic comedy that is constantly declaring that it is a different, more realistic and unpolished take on the genre. To some extent this is true; the setting is unglamorous and the characters a bit more raw and real than in for example Hollywood comedies of this kind. But the film is just as boring and tired as any Jennifer Aniston flick with a story and execution that feels old and pointless. Kudos for a nice attempt, but this is no groundbreaker, nor a pleasant distraction, but just as much a part of the mainstream as it probably tries to avoid being. |
| User ReviewJessica GI liked the book better, because they change some really important things. The ending for example! |
