  • 3. Expressen
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: it's predictable as hell and the feeling of repetition ruins part of the entertainment - we've seen the same story before, about the same type of guy except here it's not a midsummer celebration that's the backdrop but a Thailand vacation with familiar ingredients like diving, elephant rides and bungalow life.
    - Jorunn Amcoff

  • 5. Kulturbloggen
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The high recognition factor occasionally delivers hysterically funny scenes, but the pathetic character for whom everything goes wrong time and time again feels somewhat worn out.
    - Victoria Machmudov

  • 7. Moviezine
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: When all loose ends must be compulsively tied up in the finale, both logic and dignity go out the window. On a couple of occasions, I squirm like an embarrassed earthworm.
    - Jake Bolin

  • 8. Dagens Nyheter
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: He's neither likeable, successful, nor interesting. Yet two women fall head over heels at his sandal-clad feet, with no other explanation than that he happens to play the lead role in "En gång i Phuket".
    - Erik Helmerson
