**THE UGLY: 'ALL INCLUSIVE'** WRITING: 55 ACTING: 70 LOOK: 50 SOUND: 50 FEEL: 65 NOVELTY: 0 ENJOYMENT: 70 RE-WATCHABILITY: 40 INTRIGUE: 40 EXPECTATIONS: 65 ---- **THE GOOD:** Liv Mjönes and Jennie Silfverhjelm make for believable siblings, with Mjölnes capturing the reckless party girl perfectly and Silfverhjelm nailing the seemingly responsible big-sister, who desperately tries to hide her personal shortcomings. Unlike most comedies of this kind, ‘All Inclusive’ manages to be truly funny, mostly thanks to the great chemistry and comical timing of the three leads. The physical comedy and the performances are childish at times, but also laugh-out-loud funny. An actress of Suzanne Reuter’s calibre has nothing to lose in terms of their career and consequently, she goes all-in here, delivering another raucously funny performance. ---- **THE BAD:** The setting and basic story are the same old that has been done to death by now, both in Sweden and internationally. The direction does nothing to elevate the cliched story to new levels. It’s simplistic and straightforward and doesn’t support the story or the actors. The plot is predictable in every possible aspect and some of its stereotypical characterisation and comedy falls flat. The potential dramatic beats in the script don’t hit particularly hard, since everything is so predictable. It also makes the final third of the film almost painstaking to watch, as you wait for the story to wrap up so you can move on with your life. ---- **THE UGLY** Watching all these vacation comedies make me want to travel abroad less and less. ---- **THE VERDICT:** _Another tiresome vacation comedy, held up by three fun performances and occasionally well-written jokes._ **51% = :heavy_minus_sign: = UGLY**
