I have not been entertained so much by many movies.The one's Hollywood pump out are so plastic and baseless generally,or stolen plots, rehashed into some patriotic garbage meant to entertain gullible audienes. But this one really hit my funny bone and tore my heart out,as a true romantic as i am.I watch it habitually, for the great acting and excellent script,plus the songs that Jimmy sings are so sweet to my ear,even though i can not understand the lyrics yet.All in all,i will cherish this film forever.And now i have been captivated by Sidse's acting ability also, i will delve into her acting history and follow her future with great interest.How refreshing to see a film that displays the ever presence of love prevailing,in an insecure world and outdated customs.

the lead actress is about to get married in two days. her sister is in the psychiatric ward because her boyfriend left her 2 years ago to go to kenya. out of the blue, he shows up at the girl who's going to get married's place. they get drunk and have fun not sex. in the morning the girl find's out about the guys hiv test results, but lies to him. they buy a dog, score drugs, get her hair done. the guys have a bachelor party in a separate scene and her woman friends give up looking for her and have a female party. lots of drinking, lots of fake laughter. she tells the guy what he's got, he goes apeshit, they develop some melodrama, then decide to go visit her whacko sister. they break into the building and have an exchange of meaningless dialogue, get arrested by the police, she makes the wedding and then more stuff happens...but telling that would spoil the movie for you :) everybody in the movie is superficial, as are all emotions. when they are happy they are too happy and when they are sad they are too sad. there is no balance and of course no bearing to real life. the dog was the best actor and he wanted to run away from them most of the time. i thought the lead lady to be very beautiful but looks horrible later on, what with the dreadlocks and when she's crying, she looks fat and puffy. the person who made this movie thought he was being cool and he carries it off in some places, but dude is that really what life is all about? don't we all know that the ultimate cool is being for real.

It's simply wonderful. Every bit of it gets to me. It's just... reality. No more, no less. It's like the most truthful and sharply realistic fantasy you could ever have. Sure - it made me laugh, but more than that, it made me just... shiver. According to the above. I don't think many people would share my reactions to this movie - but you couldn't possibly hate it, never. Unless you weren't willing to see it, and if you aren't, if you think it's nothing for you - then don't. Don't waste your time - it's worth more than that.I love it and I always will.Björn, you're the best, forever.

This Danish film begins with the famous Dogma Certificate, but it's not orthodox. Not orthodox at all. Handcamera isn't used all the time and there are definitely sound put on afterwards.It as a comedy however with dark bottoms. It is about the girl, played by Sidse Babett Knudsen, who's going to get married, but has a serious problem. She is too much a coward to tell the truth about important things. For example, she doesn't dare to tell her sister at the psychiatric clinic, that she's getting a husband.A Swede from the past, Björn Kjellman, comes in with some life (it's not often boring Swedes play that kind of character). There are some laughs here and some tough conflicts. Worth seeing, although not a masterpiece.
