To me, this movie is perfection.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Tord S Eriksson
The story about two brothers, pure metal-heads, and their mother, who happens to be the local priest, is a bit uneven, but there a lot of individual scenes that are great, but the whole is far from perfect.The boys live in a flat owned by the local outlet store, and when the new owner changes the jobs they are supposed to do in the shop, they walk out and move in with their mom, and things start to become more, and more, chaotic.A lot of good actors, even internationally acclaimed actors, but a at times feeble script the whole isn't as good as the parts.Not bad, with quite a few good one-liners, and not a film you'll easily forget, due to its unusual setting, but proves, again, that a weak script will never make a good movie!

I think some people judge this movie from the wrong angle, and might expect too much. If you need to be fed with the same formula over and over this will not be for you.If you enjoyed "Bröllopsfotografen", and you like heavy metal you will most likely enjoy this one too. The story of two 35 year old's who live in a small Swedish town, "worship" the band who "almost had a hit in the 80s" by the name of "Ludor". Two brothers whom takes crap from no one and makes a hell of an effort to be as hard, heavy, metal and "un-gay" as humanly possible. Two brothers who swear to avoid women for "they only seek to control men and force them into cuddling and speak baby speak/language to pets and make a mess of our music collection"; as far as they are willing to admit at least. Incredibly spoiled they have few worries in life, until their carelessness leads them down a road that will harden their steel thru trials of fire!(!)I found this movie charming and unexpectedly funny and with one of the best sound tracks in Swedish cinema in recent memory. Watch this with a loved one or friend and laugh at the situations before you.It's not a masterpiece with layer upon layer of philosophical depth, but does everything have to be better than the last flick we saw for it to stir anything within us?.. Just watch it and don't let the low ratings scare you off!

The whole setup for the movie seems to be kind of promising: mother priest with two boys - black metal fans in some small sunny Swedish village. However, after about 10 minutes of watching, one sees yet another proof for that: "Swedes don't know how to make comedies". There is no plot, characters are boring and the end is very disappointing. There is very little logic connecting scenes. It rather looks like someone have firstly made a list of unrealistic situations, took pictures and then tried very hard to connect it into a movie. After all, my vote was 2 and not 1 for the scene of Thor playing on an anvil. I strongly recommend to not watch this movie.

I was looking forward to this movie a little. Swedish comedies are most often terrible but one exception is "Smala Sussie", by Ulf Malmros. After which Malmros's films have become worse and worse. "Mammas pojkar" feels like a smelly road kill. There is no plot, and the characters are boring, cliché and unlikable. My girlfriend begged me to turn the movie of and then I saw the rest on my own. When the credits rolled, I could not believe it, what happened to the setup of "the boys" getting a metal concert together with their favorite band, "Ludor"?Even the main actors seem unsure of what to do, and somewhat funny costumes does not make a comedy. There is no reason for anyone to see this film. None.
