Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and crime fans, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or The Ladykillers. Critics like it more than audiences, which usually means it takes its time or takes risks.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A tone-deaf cop works to track down a group of guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city.
