Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
TorbenB Based on The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri this movie deals with the problem of quitting smoking. It is a whimsical, not at all realistic story divided into parts (Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise). Typical of the humor of Swedish movie makers Hans Alfredsson and Tage Danielsson. A nice movie to get your mood up on a dull day.
Jange Mannen som slutade röka (The man who stopped smoking).This film is about the changes you go through when trying to get rid of an addiction. Ingenious Gösta Ekman, who plays Dante Alighieri, will make you laugh in ways you didn't think was possible. The film is packed with hilarious scenes. In one passage Dante is in such a bad shape his hand tries to take the initiative, and he has to fight his hand to prevent it from grabbing a package of cigarettes. The result is a totally wrecked kitchen. No matter what you think about smoking, this is 110% FUN for everyone who sees it. Unlike some other Tage Danielsson films, such as Picassos äventyr, you do not have to be Swedish to get it.Definitely one of the ten best comedies ever!GRADE A+
