Too much of everything
Am I Missing Something?
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The first two films in the Sällskapsresan series do not have such an original script as most Swedes would think. Both of of these are, if not copies, very and I do mean VERY similar to French "Les Bronzés" from 1978 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0077276/) and "Les Bronzés font du ski" from 1979 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0078907/).It might be a good adaptation but it's not the brainchild of Åberg. This can be seen in the following films in this series where the quality is not even half as good as in the first two. Could lack of "inspiration" be the reason. Now Åberg had to come up with his own script and if you compare the first two with the others you will see the point.The first two films are however still a good laugh
Probably a majority of the Swedish population has seen this true classic about skiing vacations in The Alps. The plot might be silly, but the movie remains splendid. Lasse Åberg manages to capture the feeling of a typical skiing vacation, with a lot of humor. Those of us who have been on a skiing vacation in Austria, can probably identify themselves with the atmosphere captured in "Sällskapsresan II, Snowroller". It might not be a masterpiece, but it remains a true classic.
