6.1 / 10 · TMDB

Uuno is unemployed and his friends try to arrange a job for him. With his imagination, though, and the help of Härski Hartikainen (Spede Pasanen), he somehow manages to avoid all work, until he becomes what he has always dreamt of being - a film star. Uuno's father-in-law has other plans for his occupation, though: since Uuno knows the Dandelion, he has potential for a professor of botany.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a familiar farce around Uuno's legendary laziness, relying heavily on slapstick and verbal wit to drive its simple plot. It explores the clash between idle fantasy and societal expectation through a series of escalating, absurd misadventures.

Those who tire of complex plots will find comfort in this predictable yet charming Finnish comedy. What lingers after the credits is the sheer persistence of Uuno's delightful incompetence. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Ere Kokkonen
