A nice feel-good movie. 87 minutes of pure entertainment. The jokes are successful.
Fun scenes:
- In the beginning when Måns rings the doorbell with the neighbor for a bit of coffee and the neighbor asks out of the blue if she might want to 'cuddle'.
- When Roro's father makes a sales pitch.
- When Måns in prison dreams about Yasmin and that his friend gets up again. :')

The third Josef Fares film that I see and again it is a nice viewer.
Fares Fares and Torkel Petersson are quite a funny comedy duo, each with its own problems. I initially liked the storyline of the first more fun to follow, but luckily that of the second later also a bit more fun. It all starts a bit slow, but there are plenty of fun moments in between.
It's all very lighthearted and it never feels forced. The rest of the cast does a great job as well. The ladies are nice to watch and Fares' father, who is also his father in real life, has the funniest supporting role of them all. Josef is a good director, who has managed to achieve a consistent level with all his films so far. Fun and light-hearted, without being really high-class, but nevertheless I like to watch it.

Funny rom-com about two befriended garden workers, who each have serious problems of different natures. Many successful jokes. The denouement announces itself far in advance, but that's not bad at all, because it fits perfectly with the good-feeling story.
You can safely call this a Fares movie. I came across the surname Fares six times in the credits. Smooth, fun, amusing.
