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.

Movie Connections:

Follows "Kummeli" (1991)

One of the worst films ever

This film was definitely one of the worst I have ever seen. I have always been a fan of the Kummeli sketch series and have enjoyed some of the previous movies, but this one was all different.

The problem with sketch comedy may often be that the jokes are not funny enough. That was not the case with this movie, since it barely had any jokes at all. Apparently the makers had figured that a couple of outrageously homosexual men are enough to make people laugh for nearly two hours.

The plot is very simple and not enough to make the movie a serious attempt at drama, and I seriously doubt that was the intention. I suggest you do not waste any money to see this, and even if you can see it for free, do something better with your time.
