Heavy metal mommie's boys face trail by steel and fire
26 July 2013
I think some people judge this movie from the wrong angle, and might expect too much. If you need to be fed with the same formula over and over this will not be for you.

If you enjoyed "Bröllopsfotografen", and you like heavy metal you will most likely enjoy this one too. The story of two 35 year old's who live in a small Swedish town, "worship" the band who "almost had a hit in the 80s" by the name of "Ludor". Two brothers whom takes crap from no one and makes a hell of an effort to be as hard, heavy, metal and "un-gay" as humanly possible. Two brothers who swear to avoid women for "they only seek to control men and force them into cuddling and speak baby speak/language to pets and make a mess of our music collection"; as far as they are willing to admit at least.

Incredibly spoiled they have few worries in life, until their carelessness leads them down a road that will harden their steel thru trials of fire!(!)

I found this movie charming and unexpectedly funny and with one of the best sound tracks in Swedish cinema in recent memory. Watch this with a loved one or friend and laugh at the situations before you.

It's not a masterpiece with layer upon layer of philosophical depth, but does everything have to be better than the last flick we saw for it to stir anything within us?.. Just watch it and don't let the low ratings scare you off!
