Review
This may not be much of a
comedy in the fundamental sense, but Lasse Åberg’s Sällskapsresan
is a fine little feel-good flick and a valid peak at the first wave of
Scandinavian sun travels to the Canary Islands. In the midst of all the
obvious buffoonery made to mock and make fun of everything from Swedish
stereotypes and snobbish businessmen to Catholic chastity, the film has
a sincerity and an authentic charm that makes it impossible to dislike.
Stig-Helmer Olsson, played by writer/director Lasse Åberg, and his
Norwegian buddy Ole Bramserud, played by a bubbly Jon Skolmen, make for
a delightful duo.
