One Of The Best Estonian Movies Ever Made!, 23 May 2005
8/10
Author: icet2004 from Estonia

what i can say all people know that.this film is good and funny.Kevade is great movie and very funny too.brilliant acting and directing.and it's not overrated.Both the novel and the movie are good no doubt.overrated is "Vanad Ja Kobedad Saavad Jalad Alla".Toots was funny character and Kiir too.sauna bath spot is immortal. and it's one of most funniest movies i have ever seen in my life. Suvi and Sugis are not so great than Kevade no doubt.Kevade is best. Oskar Luts was one of the best Estonian writers of all time.same good like Friedebert Tuglas,Anton Hansen Tammsaare And August Gailit.and i also like Luts Nukitsamees it's funny book i think.
