This was a silly and very predictable movie containing ALL the clichés. Still, it was a little interesting to watch the scenes from Thailand, as I have never been there. The beach, the bungalows, the jungle, the elephants, the monkeys, the snakes, the stray dogs, the local people, the flying lanterns... It is also something special with Swedish movies, because it is somehow - however much you consider yourself an intellectual cosmopolite - easier to identify with your own countrymen.
I could also relate to the ponderings one has in that age - around 30 - when it is time to stop living like a young boy/girl, get a real job, a husband/wife, children, a house of your own... But often you are yet not sure what is going to be your life's work, or whom you are going to settle down with, or if you want any children... at the same time as you do not want to be left behind all your friends, either. All these insecurities, and big and small love interests in the search for Mr/Miss Right...
I think people of just about the same age as the characters, will maybe get more out of this movie. Because when you are in my age (late 40:s)you have all the big decisions behind you, and it is not so interesting anymore to watch movies or read novels about these issues.
