Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Steineded How sad is this?

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

terrancegrier The show is funny and reflects the dry sense of humor that many Swedes have, but if you're using this show to learn about Swedish people it's not accurate. The one thing the show got right is that pretty much all Swedes (except for some elderly people) speak perfect English with no accent. This is because it's taught early in school. Swedes also have a sort of wry sense of humor and are not really into slap-stick.While individualism and personal space are very important in Swedish culture, the show wrongly portrays Swedes as cold and unfriendly. The episode where Poehler gets stuck in the elevator and nobody would help him would not happen and Swedes don't mind if you stop them on the street and ask for help. They are wonderful, friendly and warm people, but definitely more laid back than Americans and less likely to approach strangers.The show is very funny and the main characters, Bruce, Emma & Lena are very funny. I like that the show has mostly Swedish actors, as it should and it's great to see a different cultural perspective, even if it's not entirely accurate. I hope the show is not canceled.

katanaknights Wedding planning.The show quickly runs out of clichés of Sweden and season 2 is just another show about wedding planning. The proposal, the bachelor party, the bachelorette party, telling the parents, wedding preparations, booking a place, meeting the priest, flying in the parents, etc. It's been done a million times - this show does it yet again.There are no jokes left in this theme - everything has been said and done before. There is no new ground to cover. Why do it? Did Greg pitch a show about Sweden, get the OK, then run out of ideas and said "screw it, let's just make a wedding show?" For one, you can't make a show based on "In America we do this, in Europe they do that." It's barely good enough for standup comedy lines, not for whole episodes or a whole show.And to run out of those ideas and just make a show about planning a wedding called "Welcome to Sweden?" The jokes are just not funny "Oh, female priest? My worldview is collapsing." "You should take my name," "No, you should take my name" or "It should be Evans-Wiik" "No, it should be Wiik-Evans." Some of the ideas seem to be lifted straight from "Marry Me" - the surprise party ruined by the bride going on an insult rant while everyone is waiting to come out.Just terrible. There may be 5 minutes of comedy gold in 2 seasons of 10 episodes each.

Joshua Donohoe This is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time and I'm just "some guy from Australia who knows nothing about Sweden". I liked the US edit so much that I started only watching the original with subs. It's amazing how much the US butcher it and still manage to make it funny.I find myself learning more and more words but you sort of have to because it seems like most the subs you find are done with google translate. That's the good thing (and I mean the only good thing) about the US edit, you know what you're reading is what they're saying and a 5yr old has enough time to read it. That being said season 2 seems to have more English in it, it seems like they're trying to increase their audience to include less intelligent and lazy viewers.It's great to have a quick little pick me up and to have something other your standard US dribble to watch (80 different cop/law/hospital dramas). Cast is great and the fact that the only bad actor is an American just makes it funnier. I mean, what's going on with the odd couple? At least they're butchering one of their own shows for once.

lautrec77 I really wanted to like this show and gave it 4 whole episodes before throwing in the towel. The setup holds promise and even though it's by no means groundbreaking, it still has plenty of possibilities for great comedy. Sadly, the show tragically fails to deliver. The script is shockingly awful, the characters are like cardboard cutouts and there is not one funny gag in sight. This is not because the comedy is subtle, it's anything but subtle. It's just tired cliché after tired cliché and nothing that happened on screen even managed to twist the corners of my mouth upwards. The show has great production values and the cinematography is lovely. It obviously has a decent budget and that makes the fact that nobody during the process of creating this train wreck has paused to deal with the fact that the script is absolute garbage.Looking for an explanation, the only one that makes any sense is nepotism. There is no way Greg Poehler would have managed to commit this steaming turd to celluloid if it wasn't for his sister. His acting is OK, but the script and the characters...Compare this show with the excellent Lilyhammer for example. The setup is very similar and contain many of the same ex-pat-American- adapting-to-Scandinavian-life potential for comedy. But that show is on another planet to this one. In fact, it's cruel to Lilyhammer to even mention it in the same review as this train wreck.Incredibly, a second season is in production. This is nothing short of baffling actually. I suppose there is always hope that someone will actually step in and fix this show for the second outing, but I'm not holding my breath.Don't waste your time on this junk! 1/10.
