Goofs
In the first couple of shots, there is a slow motion shot of a plane flying. It shows the plane very close to the ground, like it's landing. In the very next shot the plane is flying much higher in the sky.

Charming, but not great.

Director Hans Alfredson, one half of the very successful Swedish duo Hasse & Tage, once again managed to attract Sweden's entire acting elite for this 1983 remake of the 1933 classic Pettersson & Bendel.

Stellan Skarsgård does a (mostly) good job as Pettersson, and Allan Edwall performs even better as Bendel. Together with a large and very established group of supporting actors, they tell a fairly charming story of two homeless guys who start hustling together.

While the story is competently told and the acting is pretty good, this movie failed to impress me. It is ok, but unfortunately not more than that.
