**THE GOOD:**

Writer and star Peter Magnusson isn't afraid to make a fool out of himself, helping his character and the overall film come across as warm and likeable.

Both Jenny Skavlan and Susanne Thorson are great in their respective roles as potential love interests.

The best character is probably the sloppy, hot-headed but good-hearted George, as played by David Hellenius. It's just the type of role that fits him and he embraces that aspect completely.

----

**THE BAD:**

Another very typical Swedish feelgood comedy with the same cast as in all the others. Seriously, the jokes have all been featured before and the story is riddled with clichés.

It feels as if this film is desperately trying to find some depth within the story, but doesn't quite get there.

----

**THE UGLY:**

These vacation comedies don’t make me want to travel to any of these tourist resorts.

----

**THE VERDICT:**

_Peter Magnusson and David Hellenius mess around a bit but don’t save a comedy so generic you will forget it immediately after finishing it._
