Nyblandad Grogg innehåller sketcher med Robert Gustafsson, Johan Wahlström, Sissela Kyle, Anna Björk och Stig Grybe. En DVD i nattsuddarstämning, ett relationsdrama med gubbar som hänger i baren fast de borde vara hemma. En sprängfylld version av TV-serien Grogg med alla favoriterna, en massa nytt och sketcherna som aldrig borde ha fått en andra chans. Sexistisk improvisation när den är som bäst. Robert Gustafsson som aggressiv östermalmstant klagar över "svartingar med sylvässade huggtänder som ritualslaktar hundvalpar i badkaret". Och den blinda indiern sjunger sin klassiska hyllningssång till spårvagnen. Alltså precis som vanligt, den icke normativa kreativitetens triumf i Schlegels anda, när Sveriges roligaste man slår till igen.
Filmen tar utgangspunkt i en faktisk hendelse i Oslo i 1975. To 16 år gamle gutter har stjålet en bil og blir oppdaget av politiet. Etter en dramatisk biljakt forsøker guttene å stikke av til fots. En politimann trekker imidlertid våpen fra 20 meters hold og skyter den ene av guttene i ryggen slik at han dør. Filmen handler om Reinert, kammeraten til han som ble skutt. Reinert er ferdig med ungdomsskolen og arbeidsløs som de fleste av vennene. Han går å slenger, røyker litt dop, er sammen med gjengen og er misfornøyd. Egentlig ønsker han seg en jobb, ikke en slik drittjobb som moren har. Reinert møter Siri, en jente med fast jobb og mer bestemte meninger enn det som er vanlig i gjengen. Drapet på kalle har gjort Reinert mer samfunnsbevisst, Siri er med på å utvikle holdningene hans. Noe som er positivt for den kommende rettsaken.
Brødrene Dal og Vikingsverdets forbannelse er en norsk film i sjangeren komedie og familiefilm som hadde premiere 10. september 2010 i Oslo. Filmen har syv års aldersgrense. Dette er det femte, og aller siste eventyret i sagaen om Brødrene Dal, og er blant annet basert på opptak av en teaterforestilling på Tusenfryd fra 1997, noe som gjør det mulig for avdøde Trond Kirkvaag å opptre i filmen. Hovedrollen bæres hovedsakelig av Knut Lystad og Lars Mjøen som brødrene Gaus og Roms Dal. Brødrene Dal, ved to av dem - brødrene Gaus og Roms, snekrer på den nye tidsmaskinen de har kjøpt på TV-shop, men brått er det noe som galt og de forsvinner tusen år tilbake i tid. Brødrene og maskinen dukker opp igjen i vikingtiden, og havner på det samme sted hvor fornøyelsesparken Tusenfryd utenfor Oslo ligger i dag. De havner midt i mellom en strid mellom to grupperinger, Badejarlene og Granbarkebirkebeinerne, som kjemper om et magisk sverd ved navn Tyrfing.
Filmen er en humoristisk og bevægende fortælling om mennesker der tænker med hjertet og føler med hjernen. Vi møder TV-journalisten Mille (Lisbeth Lundquist) som er meget optaget af at frigøre sig. Hun lever sammen med John (Baard Owe), som har et gammeldags og romantisk gemyt. Hun omgi'r sig af veninden Suzanne (Annika Hoydal), der er biseksuel, vennen Uffe (Holger Juul Hansen) og massagepigen Lise. Vi stifter også bekendskab med en tåbelig jurist (Ulf Pilgaard), som Mille forelsker sig i. Hovedpersonerne er mennesker, som man kan finde dem rundt omkring i hverdagen.
