'Leif' is clearly Galenskaparna & After Shave's best feature film,
followed
by 'Macken'. Leif is one of my favourite Swedish comedies of all time.
It's
Claes Eriksson's debut as a feature film director, as well as it's the
group's first film, so there's a bit of 'pioneer feeling' to it. I really
recommend it, it's a funny film.

This is one of the best/funniest movies ever made in Sweden or anywhere
for that matter. Best line is: "Leif, Leif, Leif what have you done?"
See it, you'll love it! Claes Eriksson is fantastic as Max and his
brother, Anders Ericsson, is brilliant as the Manager of the weapon
factory, Rotums canons and gunpowder. With the slogan: You can't
compete with us, smallest try is stopped by us, we are smarter than you
can be, oh how smart we are! The Bofors (swedish weapon manufacturer)
scandal is ridiculed! All of the music and lyrics in the movie is
great, and written by Claes Ericsson and performed by Galenskaprna and
Aftershave. Leif "EN KANON FILM!"

Here in Norway, the Swedes have a reputation of being a bit crazy, and
films
like this don't exactly make them look any more sane.
(*Small spoiler alert*)
I shall admit it at once. I simply love this humorous madness.
Unforgettable
scenes like the one in the cafeteria where a guy drops his hat in the soup
and starts a mass riot or the one where Gunnar Volt walks to a hot dog
kiosk
in his sleep and thinks that the hot dogs are hand grenades make me laugh
out loud every time I think about them. Apart from these moments, the rest
of the film is also brilliantly crafted. Everything from "special effects"
to the charming musical numbers are just delightful. The main cast of only
seven people are an energetic bunch, especially Anders Eriksson, who is so
full of humorous energy that you find yourself smiling every time he
enters
the screen, not to mention when he is dancing.
The story fits perfectly into the crazy comedy style. Everything in the
small town of Rotum circulates around a weapon factory that is illegally
selling weapons to Iran and Libya, and it's unnecessary to tell that the
film is quite satirical towards the Swedish government.
All in all, "Leif" has the potential to delight people in numerous
countries. It is simply one of the best comedies I have ever seen. I give
it
10/10.
