Not the best film by Kaurismäki, but still a sweet and humorous piece.

Cute, lighthearted and minimalistic romantic road movie, not among the director's best, but a one hour well spent.

I've yet to see a Kaurismaki movie I didn't like, but I have to say this one has been the most underwhelming. There are some funny moments, but a lot of the humor seemed particularly aimed at a Finnish audience. Although I didn't connect with the story all that much, the film does sport some nice photography, especially in the use of lighting. The deadpan humor, rock 'n' roll fixation, and working-class characters appeal to Kaurismaki fanatics, but probably won't win over anyone else.
