This is a very good movie. The best thing is that it can both be watched only as a very good comedy/relation drama in Christmas time, AND as an important statement about family values - or NON-family values... in current times.

This movie tackles such issues as divorces, people who continue to be friends with their (several) ex-partners, women who have children with several men, adoption, artificial insemination, etc.. All these issues have become political correct in Sweden, as - I suppose - most of the Western world. But this movie, through the form of comedy and drama, shows the reality behind it all. How bad the children feel, and how strange and unpleasant relations become also between the adults...

I love this film, because it masquerades as a light-hearted comedy with many famous actors, which makes Swedish National Television broadcast it at some time during the Christmas vacation every year... At the same time as it makes people THINK about important things that have gone wrong in our society, and that one normally is not allowed to object against.

A warning, though: do not watch this in company of children, as it contains both nudity, sex, and foul language!

Celebrating Christmas today isn´t really how it used to be (or how it supposed to be). Divorces are more usual, which make a completely different view on the family.

Sara (Katarina Ewerlöf) invites her ex husbands and their wives and children to celebrate Christmas at her house with her husband Janne (Peter Haber). While eating dinner, she tells everyone, that she´s pregnant again, but Janne has been sterilized without her knowledge. Who is the father of the baby?

Director Kjell Sundvall made a great effort with his 1996 hit Jägarna, and I knew that there were some good actors in the film, but I can´t really say that my expectations were great, since many Swedish films aren´t good. Fortunately, I was totally wrong!

The script by Monika Rolfner is witty and really catches the family situation of today. This along with really good actors (enjoyable to see Alexandra Dahlström again, who hasn´t done a bad movie so far) with a wonderful timing with the funny comments makes this film to be a real treat to watch. Only the cinematography wasn´t that good, but I strongly recommend this comedy if you´re looking for a big laugh! Rating: 7/10

A Swedish Christmas classic. On par with Home Alone. A bit complex with all the characters relationships but it doesn't matter. It just shows it's a well thought out story.

The intrigues and humor is perfectly delivered by some of the most well known actors and actresses in the country. The cinematography is great. The surroundings and backgrounds are visually what makes this movie amazing. They created the ultimate Christmas setting.
