It is difficult not to set a 10/10 rating since this is probably, among Swedes, the most popular Swedish movie ever. Lines from this movie are nowadays referred to in the Swedish language and culture.
If you are not Swedish, you may find the movie a bit difficult to fully appreciate. My advice is to watch it more than once, and you will discover the brilliant timing in dialogues and the amazing chemistry between the actors. There are, however, some hilarious scenes that you may not comprehend without an understanding of Swedish culture and behaviour.
What makes this movie so special is the funny clash in culture and traditions between the cheerful Swedish tourists and the domestic Spanish population. The relation to alcohol was repeatedly made fun of, considering that Sweden was, and still is, restrictive when it comes to alcohol consumption.
