Awesome Movie

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Sweden has in the last few decades accepted very many immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. This movie is partly about the culture shocks that come as a natural consequence. Although I must say the movie is very Politically Correct. The reality, when a girl from the Middle East refuses to marry the man her parents have chosen, and instead gets together with a Swede - has on many occasions been much worse than the "liberal and funny" ending of this movie...Still, a foreigner could probably learn a lot about modern Sweden from it. The atmosphere is right. There were also some funny episodes - for example the one with the dog Rambo. And some funny and likable characters - such as the Libanese middle-aged father and shop-keeper.The only character (or maybe actor) that was not just right, was Paul. He was too exaggerated as the archetypal Middle East brother, at the same time as he did not play an Arab very convincingly. He looked and sounded too European, and his accent was obviously fake.As most modern Swedish movies, "Jalla Jalla" comes through as quite low-budget and amateurish. Also, I think there was too much sex, violence and rude language in it - which is, I am afraid, also quite typical of modern Swedish movies. Still, I recommend it for light entertainment in the company of adults only!

''Jalla! Jalla! '' is a very cool movie. I like European movies, so it was a pleasure to watch this movie, that has a very simple story but anyway can make us feel great.Roro is a Lebanese immigrant who works in the parks in Sweden. His best friend is the Swedish Måns, who is also his colleague from the work. Roro loves his Swedish girlfriend Lisa, but his family thinks he has to marry with a Lebanese girl. Roro tries to avoid the marriage all the ways he can and when Roro finally decides to introduce Lisa to his family, they arrange a wedding for him with Yasmin, a Lebanese girl with a very stressed (and annoying)brother.At the same time,Måns is having problems to get an erection, what lead us to funny scenes in the movie...

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.

Since people in Sweden hardly ever go to the movies, I can partly understand that they think this is such a funny and nice little movie. In a way, it is. If you look a bit closer however, you will see that there are a number of flaws.The script could use a whole lot more work. For some reason I can never understand, the characters start running at different parts in the film. They are spontaneously started to get chased by someone and therefore begin to run. This works fine in Warner Bros cartoons. But in a movie which remotely in any way is going to depict reality, no. Fares should have left this for his action movie that evidently is going to be his next project. The dialogue and the "funny" parts are other problems too. The comedy revolves mostly around the male reproduction organ, and the main character's dad using his big belly to ward of people he dislikes.Some of the actors are not at all convincing, I hate to say it but it adds to the amateurishness of this production. Which I can live with to a certain extent however, since it is director Josef Fares' first real movie. It's still funny at times, Tuva Novotny carries her part great, but I want much more from Fares' next action movie to not feel let down.
