Naurun varjolla

A nice, well-flowing Finnish movie. As you can probably guess, the film is not really about stand-up comedy, but about the life of a 35-year-old. Personally, I identified strongly with the story and was pleasantly surprised by it.

Naurun varjolla is far from being on the list of bad films, unlike the previous reviewer felt. It's great that this has been filmed in real locations all over Finland, almost all of which have some meaning for me. I love the warm, peaceful atmosphere of the film and the performances of actors. The musical production also makes an impact. And of course, the loose stand-up -theme also works.

Okay, this is not a history-making viewing experience, but does everything always have to be so exceptional? I got a lot out of this one and in my opinion it's ridiculous to say that this would be "one of the worst movies" someone has ever seen. Perhaps such a comment says more about the number of films the author in question has seen than about the work itself?
