One of the best movies for kids I`ve ever seen. Children - mine included - like it a lot, and that`s most important for a kid`s film. The Children`s Jury at the Stuttgart Film Festival 2003 voted it "Best Children`s Film" at the festival.

Two kids - about 11 years old - Marcello and Fatima, meet and like each other very much. Both have dreams and problems. Marcello wants to fly but feels like an absolutely useless human being, Fatima wants to play soccer - which is not acceptable for her muslim family. But then they start to support each other in a very delicate and subtle manner...

The film combines realistic moments and problems with dreams and imagination, especially Marcello`s. I.e. there is a statue of Jesus Christ waking up and talking to him in a humoristic way. Grown-ups will maybe have some problems with that, but children like the fact, that the world consists of both - reality and their imagination.

Children and their way seeing the world are taken seriously in this film, which is very rare in feature films for children!

Very good for Children aged ca. 8 - 12.

I personally think this movie is great, but not for everyone. All ages can like it, it takes stereotypes and uses them in fun ways, this movie takes everything superseriously just like the main character does which makes it hilarious, seeing a 10 year old pulling out a gun? Great. Everyone of all ages could like this but not everyone.

This movie is definitely not for adults. I'd say that childen between the ages of 7-12 could enjoy "Bäst i Sverige", but not older.

The manuscript was terrible, the acting average and the movie was in no way realistic. My rating: 2/10
