4.0 out of 5 stars Deadpan, at its best!!!, December 30, 1998
By A Customer
Great movie! Reviews are going to be real polarized, either you love it or you hate it, there's no middle ground. The dead pan humor just builds with each scene and it just gets funnier. I've seen it 10 times now and each time it just gets better and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like your humor dry..., April 29, 2003
By A Customer
The first time I watched this movie, I swore these guys must be the Finnish equivalent of The Blues Brothers - a made-for-TV band that was popular enough to justify a movie. Turns out they're a real band, and pretty decent. I appreciate comedy that underplays and still manages to be funny, and I especially like the way the scenes end when the joke has been made - no endless milking. The use of non-actors in many scenes give a very nice, gritty, realistic look, especially in the bar scenes. If you're a blues fan (and I am,) keep an eye out for Duke Robillard in a cameo as a bar owner. The actor who plays the village idiot, considering he never speaks a word, is terrific. His scenes with a barber and in a shoe shop (as he tries to get the Leningrad Cowboy look) are downright poignant. For me, this film is a rare gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love those hairdos!, July 8, 1999
By A Customer
A hilariously funny movie. Very dry, but with warmth. And funny hairdos. And pointy shoes. Their rendition of "Born to Be Wild" is worth the price of admission by itself.
