Reviews
"Pekko ja poika" received a lukewarm reception from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 3.8 out of 10, reflecting largely negative user reviews. Critics have noted that while the movie attempts to blend comedy with a touching story about family relationships, it often falls short due to underdeveloped characters and a predictable plot. Some viewers appreciated the local cultural flavor and the performances, especially by Timo Koivusalo, but many found the humor dated and the pacing uneven. Reviews on Finnish cinema forums highlight a sense of nostalgia but caution that the film may not resonate strongly with a broader or international audience. Overall, "Pekko ja poika" is regarded as a niche piece of Finnish film history rather than a standout cinematic work.
