This film is, in my opinion, NOT as good as other IMDb users think (WAY worse!). It's so slow that you'll fall asleep, at least I did (litteraly). The first line you have to wait about 25-30 minutes for. To my big surprise, when I type in IMDb.com to see what other people think about this one, everybody seem to love "2001 - A space odyssey". How is it possible? OK, I admit it is beautifully made and it was the start of a sience-fiction-era which probably have inspired many directors, but the fact it's so boring is carrying greater weight, and the space-scenes doesn't save the film at all! Perhaps I'm born in the wrong time. Perhaps all of you who saw it in the premiere are feeling nostalgia, or something like that. But I downloaded it now in 2007 and watched it directly after the download was finished and I hated it! It's strange! Kubrick ALSO directed my favorite film of all time, "A Clockwork Orange". Therefore, I forgive him for making this ridiculously bad one. God rest Kubrick's soul, and don't watch 2001, watch A Clockwork Orange instead, which in Kubrick shows his better sides as a director! My rate; 2 instead of 1? Because of the great space-scenes; those must have been difficult to make (but, as I mentioned above, it doesn't SAVE the movie at all!)

When you mention "Hey Baberiba" to a swede, he (or she) probably will think about the parody they make of the Swedish Royal family, especially King Carl XVI Gustav. And that's because it's the only thing funny about this show! When I watch it, I'm waiting for "Familjen" as they call it. The other parodies suck!

A parody of a royal family like in "Hey Baberiba" probably wouldn't be allowed in any monarchy but Sweden. Perhaps in Norway or Denmark, but definitely not Britain, Thailand, Japan or any other more conservative monarchy.

As a swede, I believe in monarchy. And maybe a Swedish royalist isn't supposed to laugh at "Familjen", but I can't help myself thinking the parodies of Carl XVI Gustav, Queen Silvia, Princesses Victoria & Madeleine and Prince Carl-Philip are extremely funny!

10/10 to "Familjen", 1/10 to the rest of the show give the result 6/10!

In all the 6 episodes, Nisse Hult is in a new day of age, with new Swedish historical persons, like for example Gustav Vasa, Charles XII and Queen Christine. Nisse Hult, played by Johan Glanz, is always the innocent subject with his Skåne-accent, the one who gets in trouble and trying to solve it, when Johan Rheborg, Cissela Kyle, Per Svensson and Loa Falkman are the bad but funny bastards (all of them do a good acting performance).

A funny parody of Swedish history! I think the writers where inspired by "Black Adder"; funny parodies of the history. The difference is that "Nisse Hults historiska snedsteg" makes parody of Swedish history and "Black Adder" of British. Remarkably in "Nisse Hult"; there's no background audience laughing to make it funnier. It is already funny enough!

Unfortunately, you have to be Swedish, or perhaps Scandinavian, to appreciate the fun in "Nisse Hult", unless if you're not from Sweden and well-read in Swedish history!

My only reason for giving it 9/10 instead of 10/10 is because of the modern phenomenons which I thought shouldn't be in the show. For example the 90's rock band "Brainpool" at Stockholm restaurant "Gyldene freden" in the year of 1792. Or when Nisse is about to write "Nisse Hult was here" (in English, which I don't think anyone in Sweden spoke in the 17 century).

Except from that, brilliant comedy!

I saw "Pearl Harbor" a couple of years ago. And today I saw that writer Randall Wallace earned 2 000 000 (!?!?) dollars for the script. What? Eh? Is Hollywood like this? Can you go to California, make a pathetic script, almost totally untrue even if it shall be based on a true story, and make this fat pile of cash out of it? If I'd say Pearl Harbor before this film existed, you'd probably think about the Japanese air force's air raid at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But now "Pearl Harbor" is a 3 hours long movie, starring Ben Affleck as the main character. If I was a war widow from WW2, I'd require to have Randall Wallace shot by firing squad. Not only because he wrote a romantic, awful film with the title "Pearl Harbor", also because he made 2 000 000 dollars out of it. Why didn't they just skip all romantic rubbish this film has? It could have been a 10/10 without it! If I would be president, senator or perhaps congressman in USA, I'd do everything in my power to forbid the title "Pearl Harbor" and rename it to "An untrue, pathetic love story during WW2". When I saw it, I thought It would be like an interesting history lesson on screen. I was wrong! Go to a library or look for real sources on the Internet if you want to learn something. And for all of you who wanna waste 3 hours of your precious time, looking at Ben Affleck's mediocre acting, I recommend this one!
