Reviews

Critical reception of "Oss tjuvar emellan eller en burk ananas" has been mixed to negative, as reflected on platforms like IMDb where it holds a score of 4.8/10. While the film is appreciated for its vintage charm and the performances of actors such as Karin Ekelund, many critics point out that the humor feels dated and the storyline lacks depth. On user-generated review sites, some audiences enjoyed the nostalgia and the quirky situations presented, describing it as a "light, if somewhat forgettable, piece of wartime Swedish cinema." However, others felt the pacing was uneven and the comedy did not translate well to contemporary tastes. Overall, it is often regarded as a niche film primarily interesting to enthusiasts of classic Swedish cinema rather than mainstream audiences or new viewers.
