User Reviews

A Typical Finnish Movie

I'm a Finn, yup, and I never liked Finnish movies. We have this weird attraction to depression, and it reflects the in local filmography.

Two crazy girls doing random and stupid stuff, while the filmmakers try to make something epic out of it. Just sad. But, a good example of our teenagers.

I wish I could tell more. You don't even need a script for this kind of movie.

To summarize - dumb, boring, weird, awful, dumb, boring, weird, awful, dumb, boring, weird, awful, dumb, boring, weird, awful.

Go watch Renny Harlin or something... Our savior.
