Trivia

Heikki Vihinen, leader of the theater of the city of Tampere and part of a comedy group called Kummeli, agreed to do his role only if he could be completely naked. He is the man Iris finds in the bathroom after her mothers party. This also ruined the movies changes of getting a release in the USA because of the male full frontal nudity. See more »

A refreshingly different take on a "chick flick" theme
4 December 2002 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

This film, about a single girl struggling to find the perfect guy to settle down with, is a refreshing change to other films in the same genre. The characters are not only realistic (something so hard to find in American films similar to this) but also make decisions which actually make sense when you consider the information that the story has given you about them. It might be hard to see outside of Finland but is worthwhile seeking out if you're losing faith in this area of film.
