This was mostly a hilarious movie. It has a frame story of the making of a fictional fantasy film "Excalibur 4". This invention brings a lot of crazy costumes and special effects to the screen, not usually seen in Kummeli. In between the fantasy thing there are shorter stories that blend together nicely with some connecting characters. I enjoyed the crazy rocker played by Heikki Silvennoinen, the middle-aged video nerds who plan a mission to rob a store, and the church organ technician who seduces every woman he sees (Silvennoinen again). Overall the movie was quite entertaining up until the scene where the "Excalibur 4" is shown to the business associates. That felt like a conclusion, and the last segment where the moviemakers go bear hunting just felt unnecessary and boring and the movie seemed way too long, even if it wasn't much over an hour and a half. Too bad the movie that was almost solid lost its momentum during the last 15 minutes. However, even if it's not a masterpiece, it's pretty good if you like Kummeli. The guys surely had tons of fun making this crazy spectacle.
