Trivia

The film is based on a play that has been shown in Tampere Theatre since 2003. Many of the actors are the same, but some changes have been made. For example, the part of sergeant major Molotov that was played by Jukka Leisti in the play was played by Heikki Hela in the film. However, the part of Robban that was played by Hela in the play was played by Timo Kahilainen in the film.

User Reviews

Different Kummeli

As Timo Kahilainen said, this film is going to be something different. And Different it certainly was, in a bad way. I personally liked the previous movies and I'm a big fan of Kummeli. I loved Kummelin Jackpot, unlike many others.

Alivuokralainen was based on a play and it didn't work on the film-screen. There were some "okay" scenes where you would laugh a bit but Mikko Kivinen didn't work so good on the head role. I think Timo Kahilainen was quite funny in this one and it could have been a good movie but the story was not there and nothing else either.

I don't think it was the worst movie ever but definitely the worst Kummeli movie ever.
