The Age of Commercialism
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity marks this bad omen of a film. Do not see it. There's no humor here, nor any kind of freshness around. It's stale, there's no romance, an antique view of women, and sloppy direction. All from the script to the plot is vapid and heinous.There are no redeeming features, possibly bar Suzanne Reuter's vacant acting. The jokes are lame, the scenes are placid...there's just nothing of value here.
Visiting Sweden Christmas time, I decided to go to the movies and watch something with a comic touch. Browsing a lot of different films I found out that 'Micke & Veronica' was the only film which wasn't fully booked, so I decided to go and watch it. Five minutes in, there has been no presentation of any characters at all, already a number of awkward jokes and nothing seems to make sense. Sitting there at the cinema hoping to get a change eventually, but it stayed that way through the whole movie as well. Every joke is rather awkward and no one in the cinema is laughing at all. There is no character-development at all through the entire movie. It feels like you must have seen ALL other films that lead actor David Hellenius has been casted in, in order to understand the humor, which is not a nice kind of humor in any way. Hence, I give Micke & Veronica(2014) 1 out of 10.
