A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This a very pleasant movie. The story is told in a simple and humorous way. It's about some serious stuff like arranged marriages, refugees, culture chocks and impotence, but the story is served as a nice little comedy. Sweet and moving.

One more Swedish movie with absolute nothing to say. The story about two friends,one of them forrigner who will married a Swedish girl,and the otherone,a Swedish man who have sexual problems. is so boring,bad acted,bad script that you will leave this after 5 minutes. One of the worst Swedish movie I ever have seen. Rating:0 out of 5.

The script is very weak & there is no depth in the characters. The story telling is not the importing thing here. The unnecessary action & Scenes does not really help this one. One of the worst movies in Sweden´s history of films.

*Spoiler* *Spoiler* *Spoiler*This is the story of Roro (Fares Fares) a third generation from a Lebanese family who now lives in Sweden. He has a girlfriend, with who he is very much in love, but his family, not knowing about his girlfriend, want him to marry in an arranged marriage to Yasmin(Laleh Pourkarim). Such a story can easily becomes a heavy melodrama which can make you cry. However Josef Fares (director & writer) chose a lighter tone and made a heart warming comedy. Through the comedy he manage to convey the difficult situation that children from conservative families face when they have to choose between their tradition and the western way of life where they grew up. It is a no way situation and a constant struggle and yet the film leave you with the feeling that you can survive such a situation. But you need to make a choice which is the best for you. Another thing about arranged marriage,which the film doesn't clearly say, is that it sometime used as a peace treaty between rival families. You can get the idea of it when you see what happens to the wedding celebration when Roro announce that he will not marry Yasmin.There is another story going on and it is the one of Mans (Torkel Peterson) who is impotent. Through this story Fares Fares try to tell us that there is a connection between love and sex.(some of the funniest scenes in the film involve the character of Mans).The film is very natural in his tone. The dialogs sound as if spoken from real peoples(and it helps that most of the actors are not professional ones).This is not a perfect film. It has its flaws(like: How on earth did Paul the brother of Yasmin find about Lisa?), and if you look hard you will find them but if you let your self relax you might enjoy a movie that take over you quite by surprise and is charming and very heart warming with a light approach which help to convey a serious subject.
