Two brothers and divorced fathers with child custody Every Other Week try their best to juggle ex-wives, girlfriends and careers in what could almost be the Swedish version of a Woody Allen romantic-comedy. Jens wife refuses to believe he isn't having an affair when she has been unfaithful. He leaves her and their kids to live with his brother Pontus, a television commercial producer whose ex wants a sibling for their daughter. Throw in a girlfriend that bounces back and forth between the two, with hysterical fantasy commercials that connect everything together and the resulting film is rude, sexy, absurd and funny nonsense. Every Other Week pokes fun at cellphones, fast food, The Matrix "If you take the blue pill … If you take the red pill..." even Ikea, "… better divorces for all." The story doesn't go anywhere, but the journey is amusing fluff if getting there is unimportant.
