“The monotone monologue when Allan play Allan”
“++nMr morfarnIntiman, Stockholm, sweden. Comedy by Bjarni Thorsson, with Allan Svensson.n”
“There are many funny and wise things to say about grandchildren.”
“It doesn’t make this show.”
“A monotonous monologue of a grumpy old man. Allan Svensson is struggling with a meager text.”
“He makes his entrance as a professional golfer and talk about to finally be able to relax at old age. But it may he not for all of the horrible relatives who expect things of him.”
“the Character Allan Svensson, 65, tells of his experiences the last few years. Travel to Gran Canaria. The youngest daughter, that met a guy he dislikes. Grandson get his wife to neglect Allan. Visits to the doctor.”
“His stories are illustrated with various pictures in the background.”
“This Allan is a boring type. One of those who think he himself is funny, but not. It is not enough to say nose hair, and myopia. Should one joke about the old humorfenomen required new approaches. Bjarni thorsson’s script is a contrived kåseri. Putslustiga comparisons in vain, trying to laugh.nthere is not much to dramaturgy. Everything is built up against a couple of anecdotes. One is the issue of the prostate. The other on Viagra.”
“Well, it is humor that is based on the recognition. But this is the kind where you recognize the attempt to make a joke at long range.”
“”Mr. grandpa” also in the well-worn genre of the old men who are suspicious of their sons-in-law. Allan reads proudly bröllopstalet he kept, which we hear is a cruel and a dog in the manger. Himself, he thinks it’s funny, but no laughing.”
“So is a big part of the monologue. Allan Svensson makes the most of the role, and has comic timing, but the Allan he plays is no likeable guy. Doesn’t seem to have any warm feelings for either adults or children.”
“Not much to laugh at.”
