Review of Pistvakt

Pistvakt (2005)
6/10
Just like a long episode of the series

Warning: Spoilers
Recap: Stor-Erik is dead, and his funeral has just been held. Now, Jan-Erik and Olle is expecting the big inheritance from their famous father. But that's all a big lie, and when Sven-Erik confesses, the once so close brothers face their biggest challenge. Olle builds a monument to his father, Jan-Erik takes off, and Sven-Erik is contemplating suicide. But Jan-Erik returns, after almost freezing to death, with a little baby girl. If there was a strain in the relations among the brothers before, a crying baby won't make it any better. And something big and menacing is lurking in the dark...

Comments: If you have seen the series, and enjoyed it, you will find this to your liking too. But a little red flag should be raised! The material and jokes aren't really enough to fill the entire movie, and some parts become too slow and a little dull. And some parts resemble Three Men and a Little Baby too much. But still, the characteristic jokes and fun from the series is there. And there is a dance-scene - but unfortunately only one.

Good performances from the (small) cast. Especially Jähkel (and Sven-Erik) is a favourite of mine.

If you are new to Pistvakt, this might be a nice introduction to the series, which is better. If you have seen the series, your call...
