Snowroller

Snowroller (Sällskapsresan II, 1985) is a Swedish comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Stig-Helmer and his Norwegian friend Ole are off to the Alps for a skiing holiday. The catch: Stig-Helmer has never been on a pair of skis and will be enrolling in ski school alongside people half his age.

Director and star Lasse Åberg followed the original Sällskapsresan (1980) — a massive hit in Scandinavia — with this sequel built on the same double act. Åberg plays hapless with just enough dignity, and Jon Skolmen as Ole provides the easy counterweight. The ski slopes give the film a fresh setting; the comedy comes from character rather than slapstick. Cheerful, low-stakes, exactly what a holiday film should be. Stream Snowroller online on iFILM.
