Josef Fares is a 25-year-old director. The energetic wit and laddish humour of one so young pervades this hair-brained adventure, set in the sleepy backwaters of a small Swedish country town.

Poor unlucky-in-love policeman, Jacob, is brushed off by his blind date, with three painful questions. The moustache doesn't help either, it's true, but soon this loveable dope will be messing up more than just his love life.

The town hasn't seen a crime in 10 years and yet the local police force's approach to "pre-crime" is so farcical that it wouldn't be out of place in Rhode Island with Me, Myself and Irene. Jacob and his partner, Lasse, head out in one patrol car, while Benny and Agneta take the other, yet Benny is less than happy with this arrangement, preferring that he and Agneta be addressed as Patrol Car One.

Benny is stuck in a time warp and is the main exponent of the "pre-crime" method. His exaggerations of the truth must be seen to be believed. It is here that the film's silliness comes into its own, when we witness Benny's version of events, as he plays out Atari-style battles with imaginary baddies in some Matrix versus Once Upon A Time In Mexico shoot-'em-up.

It may be an ensemble piece and yet every character is given at least one laugh-out-loud line. It is Benny, however, that steals the show. Whether knitting headbands, or exchanging Taxi Driver expletives with his 12-year-old next door neighbour, he keeps the laughs coming.

This is truly entertaining nonsense and the very linear plot - the cops fake a mini crime spree, in order to prevent the station being closed down - never tries to be anything more than a simple device by which to extract the maximum humour.

It's been a while since this cheeky monkey has laughed so hard in one sitting. The comicbook depiction of life in a sleepy Scandanavian town is, at times, hilarious. It is easy to see why Adam Sandler's company has bought the rights

A gem of a movie.
