The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

I saw the movie "The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared" last Friday.
I had quite high hopes as it had been a huge success and talked about in media when it was released, both book and movie!
However I did not like it as much as I thought. I'm not sure why, but it was a movie I have now seen, won't recommend and will probably never see again. Robert Gustafsson, the main character, does a good acting job but well... the movie is still kinda boring.
Also, Mia Skäringer, I do wonder, these kinds of roles, is that all she can do!? Everything I have seen her in, her character is the same. It's kinda boring to be honest! Also, there are too much of "Solsidan", popular Swedish tv-series, in this movie. Although I love Solsidan, that was not what I wanted to see in the movie.

I guess this is a movie that you either LOVE or HATE!?

Story
Allan Karlsson is about to celebrate his hundredth birthday, and a birthday party is planned at his retirement home. Allan is alert despite his age, but not so interested in the party. Instead he steps out the window and disappears. He gets hold of a suitcase of drug money and becomes chased by both drug dealers and the police.
Filled with lots of adventures, Allan's life story is told in parallel to this. He eats dinner with the future President Harry S. Truman, hitchhikes with Winston Churchill, travels on a riverboat with the wife of Mao Zedong and walks across the Himalayas on foot.
