Directed by Eddie Åhgren and written by Per Gavatin, the main cast includes Robert Gustafsson as Sickan, Jonas Karlsson as Vanheden, Anders Jansson as Dynamit-Harry, and Jennie Silfverhjelm as Doris. The film is the third reboot of the Jönssonligan franchise, following 2015's 'Jönssonligan – Den perfekta stöten' and 2020's 'Se upp för Jönssonligan'.

Critical reception has been polarized. According to research, the film received an average rating of 3.0/5 on Kritiker.se. Svenska Dagbladet gave the lowest possible rating (1/6), criticizing the script, direction, and humor. In contrast, MovieZine and Filmparadiset gave the highest ratings, with MovieZine stating 'Jönssonligan hittar hem igen'. The film became the most-watched Swedish film of the holiday season after its release.

If I remember correctly, I calculated that it becomes 17 kronor per hour or something.

Controversies have emerged regarding pay for extras. According to www.unt.se, Tommie Hansson, chairman of the Statists' Association, described that extras earn about 17 SEK per hour after tax. However, FLX CEO Pontus Edgren stated that pay is typically 300-450 SEK per day and that participants are informed of conditions beforehand. Additionally, Ulf Brunnberg attempted to stop the film by trademarking the character Dynamit-Harry.

If you get 300 kronor and then you have to pay tax on it and then there's travel there and back.
