All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

**** May contain strong spoilers ****This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.I got two things to say about this movie...no, three things. 1. The more you focus one something and lift into the spotlight, the more you will get of it. 2. All successful people are bad, and all "martyrs and sad people" are good. WHAT? The clear and political message in the outer edge of "Mammas pojkar" is just too absurd...and, to be honest, sad. 3. It is Swedish. I stand my ground.Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Typical Swedish production. Some nice camera sweepings, that is it. Some blood also... in a Swedish comedy; a little rare. Look at 1:21:30. - The actors : Typical Swedish actors. - Entertainment : Where...? - Age : None, in mypoint of view.4,0 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 4 Failed. Lacking in character. 3 Bad. Weak. Foul.)

The whole setup for the movie seems to be kind of promising: mother priest with two boys - black metal fans in some small sunny Swedish village. However, after about 10 minutes of watching, one sees yet another proof for that: "Swedes don't know how to make comedies". There is no plot, characters are boring and the end is very disappointing. There is very little logic connecting scenes. It rather looks like someone have firstly made a list of unrealistic situations, took pictures and then tried very hard to connect it into a movie. After all, my vote was 2 and not 1 for the scene of Thor playing on an anvil. I strongly recommend to not watch this movie.

I was looking forward to this movie a little. Swedish comedies are most often terrible but one exception is "Smala Sussie", by Ulf Malmros. After which Malmros's films have become worse and worse. "Mammas pojkar" feels like a smelly road kill. There is no plot, and the characters are boring, cliché and unlikable. My girlfriend begged me to turn the movie of and then I saw the rest on my own. When the credits rolled, I could not believe it, what happened to the setup of "the boys" getting a metal concert together with their favorite band, "Ludor"?Even the main actors seem unsure of what to do, and somewhat funny costumes does not make a comedy. There is no reason for anyone to see this film. None.

Metal Brothers is about the brothers Thor and Odin, two thirtyfive fraternal twins who still behave like newly expatriate seventeen-year olds, constantly making their mother wash their clothes and feed them. They are moreover metalheads, and big fans of an obscure Canadian band that almost had a hit 20 years ago.The film starts at that, and very slowly, you get to know the brothers. From the beginning, you see only the outer, two raw silly metalhead, but slowly can see that there's more that they have to give. The characters are, however, according to me is not strong enough to carry the film, which desperately needed.The film has bet everything on humor and the few characters, but it is not enough to keep the incredibly weak story from shining through. But the film made me laugh a few times, so it gets a FIVE.But what is the story? It's a little tricky question to answer, the story is all over the place, and still kind of nowhere. They live in a small community, and the local outlet has a new owner and also, by chance, the new neighbor of the brothers, played by Kjell Bergqvist, who is playing his classic "half-grumpy old man" style. The brothers are working at the outlet, and when they are ordered, by their new boss, to work as cashiers, they refuse, reasoning that it is "gay". Ridiculous, I know, and it sets the tone for the rest of the film.The brothers are kicked out of their apartment they rent received by work, and must move in with their mother again, who is a society priest. She has her own side-story about her trying to get more people to come to the service through various silly activities, like candy hunt. Also incredibly ridiculous.The story kind of weirds out, not knowing where to go, yet still things are happening, as if they had lots of ideas, but none of them performed or developed well enough. This is the biggest flaw of the movie. If they settled on a main story arc, it would've been a lot better. I mean, you can have both humor and a story. The story could've been as crazy and as unlikely as director Ulf Malmros previous movie "Slim Susie", and it would still have been better then this quite incoherent mess.Spoilers ahead: Their new neighbor tries to get them to move, but the only thing that happens is actually two small scenes where water and electricity is lost, and it has no real effect. Oh, they yell at each other a little bit, but ultimately it's just a few jokes, and no story.The brothers both want the same girl, a schooltheacher played by Mia Skäringer. When one gets her behind the back of the other, a bit of tension is building, but when the confrontation does come, it's just like he shrugs it off immediately. Maybe it's due to the fact he get's his own girl one minute later.The girl, in fact a Norwegian Gothic emo chick, played by Tuva Novotny, comes from nowhere. Really, she just jumps off a bus, from nowhere (well, Norway I presume, but hey, talking about from the audience point of veiw) and randomly joins the film. Sure it is justified in exposition that the mom found her on some dating site or something, but why not show it instead of she just being there? "Show, not tell," as they say.But the emo character is still nothing but bunch of joke. Even her name is a big joke, Evil Bitch, pronounced Eh-vill Bitch.When the movie ends, it feel's like nothing has happened, except that you have seen some weird things. I'm not even sure if the brothers learned any lesson from it all. Im not sure if that was the intention of not, but a good movie it does not make.All in all, it's a weak film, but the acting and humor worked at least for me enough to give it a 5.
