Movie review | En gång i Phuket

Sven works as a carrier coach, a carrier he's ironically enough not too happy with. His youth has rushed him by unexcitingly leaving him alone with no kids, no wife and no future to speak of.

When his former schoolmate, turned adventurer, publishes a book and dies a tragic and abrupt death shortly before attempting a daring base-jump. Sven decides to take control of his life and do something! He quits his work and moves to Thailand to write a book.

A story about life and life changing decisions... and love. [of course!]

I went to the cinema thinking this was going to be a typical silly Swedish comedy with too much embarrassment and corny dialog, and went home with happy smile. If you put aside the fact that the story itself is as thin as bible paper it's truly a hilarious movie. All embarrassing moments are short and funny and the corny dialog [if any] is dealt with by great acting.
And always remeber, safety first!
