Art of Z @RT89910909 06/12/2024 Its comedy romance but there is no comedy in it. But it was pretty good movie. But problem with the movie is they didn't really focused on Patrick's character even his name is literally the title of the movie. Ending was bit problematic when Sven comeback. At first everything was moody realistic and depressing until writers forced to reunite our divorced couple. It was soooo unrealistic. See more 07/06/2019 Another great foreign movie. I like how the gay side of it was not overly sexualized like with other movies. I didn't, however, see the need or reason for the Sven character to come back. An alcoholic, philandering individual that blatantly cheated on his husband during their seperation. I had hoped that the Goran character would have shed some of his pandering ways and gained some independence as a single parent. They could have done away with Sven (who never had any interest in Patrik except to watch him changing his clothes) during the ending and focused more on Patrik and Goran developing their father-son realtionship and ultimate succesful adoption.

See more 08/26/2015 The tough back story of Patrik and the varied attitudes to the gay couple at the heart of the movie provide just enough grit to keep this film from being unbearably saccharine. In the end it's a predictable but solidly acted and directed heart warmer. I guess the gay theme earned it an extra half star from me, because I'm a gay man and it's just such a rare thing to find good quality gay themed films. See more 11/20/2014 Tv Cultura arrasando ;D See more 05/28/2014 A mediocre cliché drama movie about a gay couple who wish to adopt a child and what they end up with isn't what they expected. You can start guessing from the beginning and you would hardly be wrong. The story is over-used and the producers knew it. Though taking the same story and the plot, they could have made something different. They clearly didn't intend to take on another way of telling it and what they have ended up with is a mediocre movie with acute dearth of ingenuity ; which has been stretched to its fullest using several sub-plots; which is repetitive and has unnecessary attempts at dramatizing coupled with mundane music and average acting. However, Tom Ljungman's great acting requires a shout out. This movie is not all that terrible and is not a terrible choice when you want to watch a light movie. But as a guy, I would prefer the adult scene of Blue is the Warmest Color to the ones in Patrik 1.5 even though I knew what to expect. This movie is what it was meant to be- safe bet and that's not exactly my favorite type. So you won't miss a great opportunity if you don't watch this movie but this would surely not be something new. Watch it if you want. See more Read all reviews
