Reviews
Critical reception of "Pekko ja unissakävelijä" has been generally negative, reflected in its low IMDb rating of 3.8/10. Reviewers often cite that while the film attempts to maintain the charm of the Pekko character, it falls short in terms of plot depth and production value. For example, IMDb user comments frequently point out that "the humor feels outdated and the storyline is quite thin," and that "the film is more appealing to aficionados of Finnish culture rather than a general audience." The film has not received significant coverage on major aggregate sites like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, indicating limited international critical engagement. Finnish critics have noted that, despite the film’s shortcomings, Timo Koivusalo's effort in bringing a beloved character to screen remains noteworthy. Some fans appreciate the nostalgic value and the quirky local flavor, but most critics agree that the movie lacks the strong narrative or cinematic qualities to stand out beyond a niche market.
