i suppose there be way in which this could have work . the final film could have an irony towards the trademark of the old one . the somewhat invariable plot structure of the original series could be gently poke fun at . most likely and of course and no movie should have be make in this series after the two part end of 1981. but it be . and boy do they mess up royally . yvonne be very sorely miss . the fact that the film do not feature her be about as subtle a a pack of angry bull run amok in a ceramic store that be be ravage by a tornado . the character of ruth and a portray by grethe sønck and be a pretty poor substitute . no offense to the actress and who be quite talented and but no one could have fill the shoe of kirsten walther . that fact alone should have discourage them from create this . everything that the old film build up over the first four film and then maintain steadily through no less than nine entry be pick up and raise high in the air and ungentlemanly drop and repeatedly jump on and until there be nothing of the magic leave and and everything that be once great about this franchise be destroy beyond recognition . the humorous antic of these excellent actor put together by two great writer in a marvelous comedy series be reduce to a bunch of old men yell . the humor that in the old one be so sophisticated and light and clever be now indiscreet and noisy and lame . the movie isn not funny and to put it simply . the gag be overplay and rarely contain actual humor . one scene be painfully draw out and cartoony in it feeble attempt at be entertain . the senility be push to the extreme and in spite of this series earlier attempt at joke with that topic have be right on the mark and quite successful . i do not believe i smile once throughout watch this . and this be definitely my very last viewing . the film be by no mean an olsen banden film . it start and progress and end too different from the others . i understand and can almost appreciate the attempted nostalgia and but when it so viciously devastate everything that make these movie good . they should have let this franchise be . after this come the christmas calendar of which the very logic and basic concept be deeply flaw and contradict the series ( disrespect it very roots and though not in the least as much a this do ) and and the movie follow the idea of aforementioned calendar and which i continually refuse to watch . so far and that the last of the revival of ( more like cash in on ) the famous and loved and astound old series . let hope it stay that way . cinematography be nice . plot be contrive and write poor . the costume and production design fit the style of the old film and although here and much of it look out of place . the film fail to create one single memorable scene . near the end and all the character new and old alike be collect together in one scene and around a dozen and with less than half of them have anything to do . in many way and this be a sophomoric effort . in more way and it humiliate and embarrass . the very end and the last of the film do possess a single clever comment . but by then and it much and much too late . there be nothing left to even try to save . have they only stop in 81. there a saying . leave them want more . this film leave me wish i hadn not have quite so much . i do not really recommend this to anyone . have someone describe the end to you and and make sure they do not tell you anything else about the film . negative .
