The movie starts out really well... You sit and think for yourself; "Man this movie could really be worth watching..." But the further into the movie you get, you begin to think; "Um... What were they thinking while they were making this movie?" Bad acting, over-acting, just acting funny. And so many silly no-good jokes that you could puke. And in the middle of the movie you already know how it's going to end. And probably the most annoying thing in the movie is the torpedo who acts just like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator. He walks around with a leather-jacket, sunglasses and a shotgun spreading classical quotes like "Hasta la vista, baby", "I'll be back" and "Fuck you, asshole". I've seen that in about seventeen other bad movies, come up with something new! The only good thing in this movie is actor Loa Falkman. His acting is good, and he's real funny too. You really pity his character. Suzanne Reuter is OK also. But in the end, this movie isn't worth your money. Keep them, go buy yourself 8 burgers instead.

Hard to know where to begin. Impossible to understand "why". One can only speculate as to "how", but there must have been an, exceptionally unfortunate, aliginment of stars for this to reach all the way to production.
An apt description (for anyone actually considering watching) may be: "This looks like what you would expect if; a high school kid, with loaded parents, was given too much money to develop their, imaginary, artistic talent".
From a script point of view 7 miljonärer rests on the premise; audiences love to watch films showing that rich people are way worse off than poor people. In this case they are they are, apparently, not only worse off they are also, without exception, more naive, more stupid and more shallow. I suppose then, it is somewhat ironic when the only one who comes across as naive, stupid and shallow is the writer/director (of which Michael Hjort was unfortunate enough to do both).
For once there may be some merit to the saying "this is worth watching to learn the "don't dos" of filmmaking" - as Hjort has, pretty much vanished from the cinematic format after this and turned his "abilities" to writing books instead. Don't know if they are any better - do know I don't want to find out.
Two stars for not actually harming anybody (except the viewers and backers).
