Youtube hosts the German comedy "Machen wir's auf Finnisch" in nine parts. It serves any Finnish cliché there is and is somewhat "rustic", but has plenty of gags that made me spit my dinner on the TV screen when I first saw last autumn. german language only.

A young beginner in music management gets a job in a record company by boasting with her (absolutely novice) skill in Finnish language. Her first job is to engage a Finnish band for a TV show. But due to her language deficits she does not pronounce the name correctly wheh talking to the Finnish manager on telephone (sounds all the same anyway ), and instead of the the glorious teeny idol band her boss wanted, a bunch of Finnish rockers comes over, always drunk, absolutely terrible in performing, and behaving like the first apes on earth. If she wants to keep her job, she needs to turn them into a band that can outperform the competitors in the upcoming TV competition.

As I said, plenty of clichées in there, but it all is presented in a good-willing mood, and the Germans get their share a bit, too, and the lovely chick is for free.

The ending made me burst with laughter. I simply had run out of structural integrity.

Best watched while being slighty tipsy already. All Fins please accept apologies - and realise that in the movie the Fins are turning out to be the better humans anyhow!
