    You got to be in the right mood
    Peruna - The Potatoe Venture - is supposed to be comedy about the guy bringing the potatoe to Finland in the 1600's.

    The problem is that the script isn't very funny.

    The comedy tries to be a Mel Brooks comedy which uses modern phrases for venture and inventions to such an extent it gets boring.

    As the actors are to to act like this, they are doing a good job, but I'd wish the comical timing and jokes could be of an completely different level.

    Sad, because the idea is good, and he movie turns out a bit below average.
