Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

BunmaTan I just love the movie, it's beautifully done. The development of each characters emotions is spot in this movie. I love every bits of the movie. Although the other details could have been prepared better, I still think the production team have done a great job focusing on the 3 main characters. Regardless of the others, the 3 actors did a wonderful especially Patrik and Goran. It does not contain too much(any) softcore porn like a particular gay-themed movie does and it's definitely watchable for all. The storyline is just wonderful, cute, and refreshing. It's just keeping you smile hours after the movie. It even gets to the point where I said to myself that I wish that I will get the same family too. lol. ANYWAY, if anyone saw similar movies like this one please reply this post or leave me a message. Thanks!

Chris Roberts Often when you watch a "gay" movie, you have to allow for some bad acting, predictable story, and tired stereotypes. This film has none of those problems and in fact, is tough to really label as a "gay" film as that's just a small factor in the plot. It's a film about relationships - how they begin, how they end, how they end up when all is said and done, and how we manage going from one phase to another despite our intentions or beliefs. The performances are wonderful, the story is well-written, and the emotional pay-off is genuine. There's no dramatic moment waiting to shock you, just a quiet, well-told tale of 3 people who each have their own demons to fight that happen to be connected to one another by choice or chance.Charming, warm, gentle, kind. There is nothing bad here. I love it not only as one of the best "arthouse" films I've watched, but as one of the best dramas I've seen.

toddcha I recommend "Patrik 1,5" for several reasons. This film gives me a cultural shock that in a developed and open (as far as I know ) country like where the movie is shot people there are still kinda homophobic. This attitude is introduced in the onset of the film which gives a good background and hint that the couple's family-wish is challenged not only by the adaptation legitimate restrictions but more severely by the local. The story is clearly developed as Göran being the center. There's no many irrelavant side stories. This movie is tightly-told and slow-paced. Whether you want to know more about Sweden, or gay relation/gay adaption, you can't miss this one.

Claudio Carvalho In a suburb in Sweden, the gay Dr. Göran (Gustaf Skarsgård) and his "husband", the executive Sven (Torkel Petersson) receive a letter informing that they will finally adopt an orphan – Patrik 1,5. They understand that Patrik is a one and half year-old baby and they prepare a room for the baby. However, there is a typo and Patrick (Tom Ljungman) is actually a fifteen year-old homophobic teenager with criminal record. The gay couple assumes that there is a mistake, but it is Friday afternoon and they need to wait until Monday to contact the Social Service. Along the weekend, Sven has friction with the adolescent, but Göran befriends Patrik, who is an experienced gardener. Göran and Sven have an argument about Patrik and Sven leaves Göran.When Göran learns that Patrik has been rejected by families for ten years, he decides to adopt Patrik. But now he is alone and the process of adoption is no longer valid and he needs to prepare a new application. I am not a fan of films with the theme "gay couple", but Patrik 1.5 is a pleasant surprise. The story is funny, dramatic and romantic and the trio Gustaf Skarsgård, Torkel Petersson and Tom Ljungman is charismatic and shows a great chemistry. The director and writer Ella Lemhagen is very sensitive and never overexploits the gay relationship of Göran and Sven.The prejudice of the neighbors of Göran and Sven is impressive considering the image of freedom in sex that the Swedish people have in my country. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Patrik 1.5"
