There is a Swedish movie called Naked, which is about a guy who gets Groundhog Day'd in the following way: He wakes up naked in an elevator in an apartment building, he is hungover because it was his bachelor party the night before where he was black out drunk, and his friends left him here in the elevator. As a bonus they shoved a condom up his behind. He has a few hours before his wedding.

It had an american remake, I didn't know it was originally a swedish movie : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_(2017_film)
But if it's like Let The Right One In and the Millenium trilogy, the swedish version must be better, I've got to watch it
And to anyone thinking it's european smug /anti-americanism, no I actually enjoyed some american remakes like True Lies, but the swedish Millenium trilogy with Noomi Rapace is great, just as the original Let Me In / Let The Right One In

Right! I have seen the american version too. Neither is a particular good movie. And you should not approach the Swedish film with high hopes of finding something brilliant. You should expect it to be very crass, and see it if you just want to find out what weird shit Swedes create when no one is looking.

I loved Dead Snow (which is norvegian, not swedish) so yeah I kinda like weird shit / crass movies

Ah, but that one is good though :-)
While on the topic... Iron Sky is a Finnish film but in the english language. Quite good. The same creators did Star Wreck: in the pirkinning, a parody movie, this one in Finnish. Too long ago since I saw it to remember if it was funny, mostly odd I think... But they might be something for you then.

true lies is a remake? holy shit

Yep, from La Totale, a french spy comedy film
But it's quite different cause the original isn't action-packed
The main actor also starred in Le Diner De Cons, which was remade in the US as Dinner For Schmucks, but I prefer the french one

American remakes generally suck. The same could be for remakes in other countries; I can't speak to that, but the French original La Femme Nikita was incredible. The American remake sucked. The British original Who's Line Is It, Anyway (TV) was great; the US series stank.
I think that's just the nature of remakes.

I find it interesting how many movies and TV shows have a bachelor party the night before someone’s wedding as a critical sort of the plot because I have never been to a bachelor party the night before a wedding, only like weeks in advance. I don’t know if it’s because we have all been trained by those silly movie scenarios to not be so dumb or if it’s simply the strong possibility of being hungover on your wedding day sounding horrible but in my experience, it just doesn’t happen in real life.
