    Different Kummeli

    As Timo Kahilainen said, this film is going to be something different. And Different it certainly was, in a bad way. I personally liked the previous movies and I'm a big fan of Kummeli. I loved Kummelin Jackpot, unlike many others.

    Alivuokralainen was based on a play and it didn't work on the film-screen. There were some "okay" scenes where you would laugh a bit but Mikko Kivinen didn't work so good on the head role. I think Timo Kahilainen was quite funny in this one and it could have been a good movie but the story was not there and nothing else either.

    I don't think it was the worst movie ever but definitely the worst Kummeli movie ever.

    a disgrace to the name Kummeli

    I have always been a fan of Kummeli series and movies, a really twisted humor of everyday life and making fun of actually everything. This movie really was different. Only in some points it made me chuckle a little bit but thats it. And most of the funniest jokes are simply recycled stuff. And a really, really bad choice to place Mikko Kivinen in the main role, he hasn't do any good to the series, in fact I always hated his performances. Probably the main Kummeli team was too tired and uninterested about this whole movie and it shows up. It would perhaps been a good long sketch as part of a series but trying to laugh almost 2 hours for a stupid immature gay joke is simply enough. Hope they will make another good movie like Jackpot or Kultakuume in the future.

    One of the worst films ever

    This film was definitely one of the worst I have ever seen. I have always been a fan of the Kummeli sketch series and have enjoyed some of the previous movies, but this one was all different.

    The problem with sketch comedy may often be that the jokes are not funny enough. That was not the case with this movie, since it barely had any jokes at all. Apparently the makers had figured that a couple of outrageously homosexual men are enough to make people laugh for nearly two hours.

    The plot is very simple and not enough to make the movie a serious attempt at drama, and I seriously doubt that was the intention. I suggest you do not waste any money to see this, and even if you can see it for free, do something better with your time.
