This is a good swede because it does not take itself to seriuously. It is funny and also has some of the key points of the trailer. I also like it because they chyanged some of the key points and made different. For example they started singing 'We built this city'.




This is a very good swede. It is very realisitic and is very true to the trailer. The acting is very good and the sets they used were good. They put alot of effort into finding the right locations and thinking about costumes.

This is another very good swede. The makers have kept very close to the orginal and paid alot of attention to detail.
