Embarrassingly bad

I'm embarrassed to confess that I saw this movie, well most of it in any case. The script is so terrible that the screenwriters should be banned from ever writing for TV or movies ever again. And we all know why Svensk Filmindustri ever produced the movie in the first place - to earn money on the reputation of the TV show. And it's obvious why the TV show got cancelled after only two seasons: bad writing.
