I think that this movie can´t be taken to seriously. If you read other
comments you will find a lots of complains. I say: Don´t pay to much
attention to those. Although this movie is childish and predictable, its
content is funny as hell and the actors are perfect for their
rolls.
Don´t crap it down people because it was a long time ago that i had such
fun
at the cinema! Go Fares!! 10/10 for the comedy!

"Kopps" was a really funny comedy. The way life is in a typical sleepy
smalltown is portrayed perfectly, and the different characters are all
funny
in their own ways. The idea here is that a police station is threatened to
shut down, because in this smalltown there hasn't been a serious crime for
ten years. The policemen realize that something has to be done... and soon
they're in deep trouble. I recommend it! 4.5/5

After box office hit Jalla!Jalla!, Josef Fares comes with another
comedy, which is a total gas.
It's about some policemen in small-town Sweden who, crime being absent,
spend most of their time, and they've got a lot of it, eating hot dogs
at the local snack bar. Their biggest problem is a cow occasionally
running in the street. Suddenly, they find out the police station is
gonna shut down since there are no criminals around. At this point, the
four protagonists(including Jalla-veterans Fares Fares and Torkel
Peterson) decide to "raise the statistic". The results are hilarious...
The movie is really funny and the characters are nice and believable,
with the exception of Benny(Torkel Peterson), a complete moron who
thinks he's Neo, Rambo and John McClane in one person. Nevertheless,
Peterson is actually the main reason I kept laughing while watching the
film.
The only problem, if I can call it a problem, is the fact that some
gags are a little bit too, you know, Swedish. For example, when the
"kopps" accidentally blow up the previously mentioned snack bar,
Benny's first reaction is "Oh sh*t! Where the hell are we gonna have
lunch now?".
Aside from that, there's no reason people shouldn't watch, and enjoy,
this amusing film.
8,5/10

Kopps is a very entertaining Swedish comedy from the opening of the
film to the final credits. Like most Swedish films, the cinematography
is exceptional and the acting is top-notch. What makes this find stand
apart is the screenplay is well-written and humorous. It's accessible
to large audiences. Most people will enjoy this film. Each character in
the film is unique and a joy to watch. It has a good story, and does
very well at capturing small town life in modern-day Sweden. This film
is not an historical period piece or set on a rural farm, which is
refreshing. And it's better than most Hollywood movies. This director
has a real future in film-making.

I'm not to big a fan of movies that make you laugh only with slapstick
comedy... and this film surely goes beyond the silly. It made me laugh
with
some very good parody, with great situations and finally with very
loveable
characters. Its a smart comedy no doubt. I highly recommend it. The rythm
is
great... your never bored or know whats coming up next.

Small Swedish village is pretty much free of all crime. Police force
doesn't have much else to do than to loiter around, hoping for
something to happen. But one day they hear, that their work place is
under cancellation threat, so they must boost up their arrest and crime
rate to keep their beloved police station.
They figure out, that if they don't have crime they might as well start
doing crime themselves.
Hardly never movies with this kind of settings are good but Kopps does
fine exception from that rule. A funny film with good acting and great
jokes. Especially the crimes and descriptions of "Russian mafia" shoot
outs and such are hilarious and well done.
When one thinks about Northern European cinema you think about frozen
landscapes, desert towns, drama, Bergman, Liv Ullman, Von trier... You
wouldn't relate Sweden or Denmark to the crazy comedy, but that's what
you're gonna find in "Kopps": a small town and four cops whose jobs are
at risk (no crime = no need of cops). Now, what are they gonna do? Can
you figure it out? Well, if you can't just give "Kopps" a chance.
OK, it's not one of the best movies ever, but it's much more funny than
most of nowadays Hollywood comedies. It's full of hilarious situations
and crazy characters (the police dog is a Chihuahua!!).
*My rate: 7/10

I just saw this movie in cinema yesterday and I cannot say anything else.
Not seeing the director's previous film "Jalla!Jalla!" I first saw this
Swedish filmmaking style. The movie is really humorous with a good plot and
great characters.
The four cops are great characters. The best is Benny who believes that he
is a "Die Hard" style supercop who kills masked terrorists and avoid their
bullets "Matrix"-style. But there are several good moments and an original
atmosphere in this film.
I just cannot say more. Entertaining movie with great special effects for a
comedy.

The two Fares does it again and even is better than ever!
Director Josef Fares does an even better movie than "Jalla! Jalla!"
(2000)
and his brother Fares Fares is excellent in the lead role as a cop in a
small Swedish Town.
But my favorite is Torkel Petterson in the role as Benny. Benny is a
sweat
guy who makes headbands to his fellow police men, but dreams of becoming
a
hard neck American cop.
If you want an easy and funny movie make sure to see this one!

This would have to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Right
from the word go it sent me into fits of laughter. I can promise you'll
have as much fun watching this as I did.
It's about a small town with no crime. Due to this the government plan
to close the station. The police then decide the only way they can keep
there lives the way they love is to start committing crimes themselves.
This leads into some hilarious moments that will leave you in stitches!
I was lucky enough to see this in the Melbourne Film Festival (2003)
and would love to have it on DVD.
