Better than anticipated. Turned out pretty good. It could just as easily been all in English.

Based on the cover, I was not expecting such a dark comedy. Allan, the 100 year old man is the Forrest Gump of death. Maybe, he's lived so long from absorbing the mojo of the dead he's so accustomed to. For me at least, the juxtaposition…

This movie is a dark comedy. It starts by following a 100 year old Swedish man escaping from his birthday party and follows him through a series of misadventures where he collects a ragtag group of misfits. Interwoven in his present…

An enjoyable quirky movie. Watch the special feature on how they made the movie: 5 hours in the make-up chair! Shoot locations included Hungary, Thailand.

It is in Swedish, so you will have to watch with sub-titles if you don't speak the language. It is basically the Swedish Forrest Gump. It was enjoyable and fun. Not a bad way to spend two hours.

This was simply a brilliant thought out story. How an author could come up with a character, ‘Alan,’ that was able to get so involved with so many historical events and persons including world leaders, in perhaps 60-80 years of his adult…

It was a pleasant surprise for me. Wasn't sure what to expect going into the movie, but I liked the humour.

Superior Forest Gump-like centenarian fantasy in which good prevails, evil gets punished, and others get a chance at enjoying life again. Moments of hyper violence, but funny moments dominate. Theme: breaking away from the restrictive life…

This amazing Swedish films is akin to the Coen Brothers on steroids. I have not laughed out loud so frequently during a film in ages. I felt guilty ( at first ) for laughing at the mayhem - think Fargo times 10 - then I simply enjoyed…

Sweden's answer to Forrest Gump. Charming film.

This funny Swedish film reminded me of Forrest Gump. It is worth the effort of having to read the subtitles. I have not read the adult fiction book of the same title on which it was based.

This was a hoot, have watched it several times including with the kids. At 8 and 11, both were able to follow both the action and the subtitles without difficulty.

Fun and a comic nod : that all old people are not boing and dumb and incapacitated.

Bizarre, whimsical, and delightful little movie that lightly addresses the stereotypes of and assumptions about old people. Who knew this simple man had led such an interesting life? (Note: Casual, comedic violence and swearing are not…

A light-hearted comedy from Sweden. Good for a few laughs, and no more. Subtitles.

Its a slower paced movie but hey its about a 100 year old man (YOM)! Its not the most exciting but we had a few chuckles with the Swedish 100 YOM's history with international political leaders. The acting was good with a hilarious scene of…

Well Done.

Knee slapping funny and based on Jonas Jonasson's 2009 novel (2012 in English) of the same name that NU.nl praised as ‘Swedish black comic novel that reads like a road trip with Forrest Gump at the wheel.’ Anyway, the centenarian had not…

Very entertaining film. It reminds me of Forest Gump in that Allan gets himself in to all kinds of mishaps and misadventures when he climbs out a window and steals a suitcase from a bus stop.
