A group of party goers have trouble getting their boat ashore on a small island. The inhabitants of the island try to help, often with the help of an old sailor, and the results are absurd and hilarious.

Perfect cast and a good story

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

do you ever feel like life has taken a downward spiral out of control in a loony towns cartoon from the era of no regret? Then the people in this movie envy you. You take one part (huuuuush Lila wee man) weir ass swedes, and trow in some awful goddamn navigating skills, and a bit of failed basic understanding of how boating works. if i could summarize my life choices in an angry semen captain with the vocabulary of that one cowboy from lonely tones it would be the sweetest melody from the song of the south remake i was working with my uncle. This movie goes ever on and on, enough for three friends to decide to drunkenly write a review together to properly show their appreciation's for the cesspool that is sweetish cinema. most importantly, though, it just gets better and better (or worse, depending on whether you have shitty taste or not) until it all collapses into a sweet dynamited Whitman-Esq gay celebration of proteins, managing to involve the whole Swed population (totally not a spoiler i swear 100%%%%). "why do i always get called little wee man" asked little wee man when the last drop of his alcohols was dripping down like a tear from his favorite Hollywood actor bill Cosby. anyway, i give this movie a perfect 10 like my ex wife who left me for an angry semen. this movie is perfect for drinking with friends and enjoying seeing someone else's life crumble down when you keep yelling "WHY CANT THEY SWIM?" when the answer is that Sweden has been on an island for so long that they forgot what water looks like.pro tip, it's like a game of over watch but much less salt.

Sometimes it's hard to dock the boat. In this 1965 movie by Tage Danielsson, featuring his friend Hans Alfredsson, the two in Sweden normally referred to as Hasse&Tage, it becomes the death of those failing to do so.Holiday makers fail to dock a boat. Thats the plot. And it takes a long time for them to fail to dock the boat. Much too long. Inbetween beginning and end of the movie there's nothing else. Just an ongoing failure to dock the boat. Well, Hans Alfredsson eats a banana, but that doesn't count as a plot.Hasse&Tage must have had just about as hard a time to come up with a plot for the movie, as it's hard for the holiday makers to dock the boat. Why this movie is loved by many Swedes, I fail to see. It's simply not funny. It's just slow. Very Swedish, indeed. Maybe that's why it's considered funny in Sweden. It's slow and nothing really happens and at the end everyone dies.

A gloriously crazy film, superb acting all over the line and so funny you'll laugh every time you see it. Possibly the last truly funny Swedish movie (sadly). 10 out of 10, and a golden star to Hans Alfredson for his wonderful portrayal of the old gobbledygook-speaking fisherman.

This movie is probably the best Swedish movie ever. It has humor, drama, excellent actors, and an absurd intrigue, which never the less is totally logical in every detail. However, if you are not a Swede in the age above 35, It is probably completely incomprehensible for you. Compare it to an insider joke that only could be understood by a certain group of somehow related people. The movie is making fun of mannerisms and archetypes that has already disappeared from a Swedish society which was changing rapidly even when the movie was made, and which is totally different today.
