Disturbing yet enthralling

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Based on a (at the time) popular stage play, and makes use of Denmarks best and most popular comic actors of it's time. The film is funny as hell, and the story is timeless - man wants to marry woman, but mother-in-law is in the way. Lily Broberg is hilarious as Tante Rosa, a slightly confused woman, who was once left at the altar, by the man she loved. Also funny is Jessie Rindom as the mother-in-law, who wants to control everything around her, especially her daughters wedding, honeymoon and marriage in general. On a sadder note: this was Keld Petersens last movie, as the talented actor died shortly after the movie was finished!
