Sometimes it's actually quite impressive, almost completely accurate. But most of the time it's just funny hearing Swedish with an American accent. Pronounciation is all effed up sometimes and the lack of å, ä and ö in their speech is a bit of a giveaway.
Any other Swedes here who find it funny, or is it just me?
Are there -any- actual Swedish actors in this film? Like among the extras or something.
I think the Swedish actors were all extras. Here are some Swedish names from the cast list: Karl Swenson, Sven Hugo Borg, Carl Carlsson, Britt Ekland, Birgitta Engström, Annalena Lund, Margareta Lund, Lars Passgård, Svend Petersen, Sigrid Petterson, Sigfrid Tor, and Raanhild Vidar.

*beep* was Britt Ekland in this? Totally missed her. Know what scene?
shareAnother Swede here.
They were absolutely terrible at speaking swedish, and I laughed out loud everytime someone spoke. All the people speaking swedish had very small parts, couldn't the swedish actors they already had as extras have gotten these speaking parts?
Ok, I get it, Sweden is a very small country and we are the only ones who would notice the poor pronounciation. Why bother with the local actors...
I especially laughed at the man who said he was born in Sweden (who translated the telephone call) - I could barely make out what he was saying.
