I live in Perth and love UWA where most of this movie was filmed. I saw this movie on TV the other day, starting half way through. And I thought that the acting was terrible, and that it was silly. But I kept watching, and the longer I watched, the more I liked it. Especially the university campus, and the "in" jokes. And I fell in love with both the main girls :-)
Right now, this movie seems different to the "real" movies. The acting seems "terrible". But 30 years from now, no one will be able to tell the difference between The Course and, say, Legally Blonde.

This is a great movie. It would have been impossible for Hollywood to have made this movie. They would have needed a huge special effects budget, and the continuity people would never have allowed it through. They would have played it as a goofy comedy. Thankfully it was made in Finland. If the Americans decide to do a remake, make sure you see the original first.
As it is, it is thoroughly clever, and wonderfully naively charming. The director had an idea, and chose an optimum path to realise that idea - a very tricky feat.
I'm from Australia, but I couldn't help wondering if Finnish people and New Zealanders are similar.
BTW, count the women who appear in the movie.
