Ovaj film definitvno opovrgava moje mišljenje da gay parovi ne bi trebalo da imaju mogućnost da usvajaju djecu! U Švedskoj da, al ne i kod nas!

Nismo mi šveđani ni po mentalitetu ni po ponašanju! Pa zamislite jadno dijete u tom okruženju. U školi bi mu se rugali tate su ti pederi, komšije bi ga gledale kao jadnog bolesnika koga su roditelji zarazili pederizmom, a " roditelji" bi nemoćno svo to posmatrali.

Definitivno sam protiv toga da pederi mogu da usvaju dijecu u bilo kojoj od Balkanskih država uključujući i Sloveniju! I tamo je većina tata porijeklom sa Balkana, mada su malo više emancipovani od nas ostalih južnjaka!

Jedan moj drug mi je jednom prilikom rekao : Ja bih sve te pedere jebao , ne bi ima palo na pamet da usvajaju djecu i prave brakove! ( treba li napomenuti da je str8) Ja mu odgovorih, sve je to u redu, al pazi de ne zatrudne! Naravno on pojma nema o meni i samo smo se nasmijali!
Čak i neki pederi ne shvaćaju pedere! Bio sam u vezi sa jednim podgoričanionom!
Preko neta je komunicirao sa jednim likom koji me je opanjkavao koliko god je mogao! I ovaj da bi mu se osvetio što me toliko ogovara sjedne u autobus i pravo kod njega!
Kada sam sve to otkrio pitao sam ga zašto je to uradio. Odgovorio mi je da mu se osvetim, izjebao sam ga!
Ostao sam u čudu i rekao vjerovatno želi da mu se osvetiš još koji put!

A kako je to u Švedskoj vidite u ovom filmu. Kao da je na nekoj drugoj planeti! Pederi koji su se vjenčali odluče da usvoje dijete i to na sva glas razglase i komšiluku i rodbini i prijateljima!


A charming and ultimately uplifting film with affecting scenes, humorously awkward moments, and a serious subtext. Nuanced and believable acting by Gustaf Skarsgĺrd and Torkel Petersson as the married couple at the center of the story; the homosexual relationship is handled in a straightforward and skillful manner. There is a scene involving a policeman and a safety zone that elicits laughter but feels contrived. Patrik Age 1.5 is predictable in terms of where it is going, but it is one of those films in which the journey—not the destination—is what matters.
Goran and Sven have been cleared for adoption and they have a possibility to adopt a Swedish orphan, Patrik 1,5. But when Patrik arrives he turns out to be someone else, not the little boy they were expecting. A comma had been misplaced, and in comes a 15-year-old homophobic with a criminal past.

I saw this last month at the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival. Based on a play by Michael Drucker and adapted for the screen by writer/director Ella Lemhagen this is the story of a gay couple living in white picket fence suburban neighborhood run by a homeowners association and populated by an all straight community. Goran Skoogh (Gustaf Skarsgard) and Sven Skoogh (Torkel Petersson)ave taken a singular surname, complete with wedding rings and a marriage but they want to adopt and raise an infant child to round out their marriage and live as a family.

They have been put on a long waiting list to find a child they can raise from a baby and finally one becomes available. Or so it seems. A typing error that should have read Patrik, age 15 has been mistyped by the social service agency as Patrik 1,5. Believing they are about to bring into their lives an year and half old infant they are shocked to discover their baby is actually 15 years old, homophobic and with a history of delinquency and violence. Sven was once in a straight relationship and has an ex wife and a teenage daughter. He is hesitant of raising any child again let alone a ready-made troubled teenager. Goran wants a baby desperately but can see the good and discovers he can help bring out the good in Patrik (Thomas Ljungman). Nice cinematography from Marek Wiesner and production design from Lene Willumsen which give the film a rich textured look. It's a good cast withe some interesting peripheral characters. It's not an edgy film but is light and humorous with a some touches of drama without coming across as a message movie and it has an appeal to a general audience. I liked it and would give it an 8.5 and recommend it.
