Review of Kinnunen

Kinnunen (2007 TV Movie)
9/10
Matrimonial comedy
4 November 2014
Amazing adventures of a Finn in Estonia. A Finn in search of wife. However, instead of a Finn, the filmmakers could have as well portrayed a green alien. Because behavior of the main character only remotely resembles behavior of a typical member of a human race. And that is my main problem with this very funny and cheerful comedy. The director unfortunately failed in his attempt to convincingly show why women (and particularly one of them) are attracted to this human alien, a loser completely devoid of charisma and charm, who would better fit playing anti-love interest. That is, however, only a small detail, which does not significantly ruin the positive perception of the movie. The movie that is full of optimism and unpretentious humor. Every beast may find its beauty - one could sum it up. It only takes a trip to Estonia.

A small disclaimer - when you read "very funny", you should think of Jim Jamrusch, not Jim Carrey.

My rating: 9/10
