Lasse Åberg ended the S.H era in a great way...

[Aqueritas · 13 February 2004]

I could not agree with Stoffe more. Lasse did a great job as he put an end to the Stig Helmer /Ole Bramserud comedy era. Even though I think it is quite sad that S.H won't be on the screen longer. I have bought all the movies and I would buy the next one if Lasse would be as kind to do another one.

The movie itself is as swedish as possible; everyone focuses on their looks and are trying all kinds of ways to loose pounds. "Hälsoresan" has a great message to the conventional west. If I would rate to movie, comparing to the other four "trips" this is the worst of them. But Hälsoresan is still worth a look and you cannot compare every movie with each other, in that case every movie is bad except The Godfather trilogy.

Aqueritas rate this movie 6,5/10

Probably among the worst movies ever done!

Bad story, lousy actors and terrible jokes makes this movie a complete failure. Even Lasse Åberg's character Stig-Helmer Olsson couldn't save this miserable movie. The end credits were the only enjoyable part of the movie. What could be more fun than white texts rolling on a black background.... Please, no more sequels for Stig-Helmer!

A good ending of a great series of movies

Well, it was different than the three other movies but it was a good ending to a great series of movies. We all have to realize that Stig-Helmer has matured a little and that people grow old. I believe S.H. was a little more aware of reality now and that´s good, people change. The movie has a lot of old characters from the earlier movies which is fun. It´s really not what I expected and that´s good. It´s really hard making four films and getting that comment in a positive way. If you think this film sucks then you are narrow sighted, say that it´s bad is one thing but in the end it IS a well made movie with a lot of funny jokes and incidents. It fits perfectly into its time period.
