Uuno Turhapuro – Suomen tasavallan herra presidentti is a 1992 Finnish comedy film written and directed by Ere Kokkonen. It is the sixteenth film in the Uuno Turhapuro series. Its name translates to "Uuno Turhapuro – the Mister President of the Republic of Finland".
The film got mediocre reviews compared to the other Turhapuro films. It also had a small audience and profited only 9,000 FIM.
Plot
Uuno Turhapuro has become the new President of Finland. As President, Uuno decrees that all of the cabinet ministers should wear happy face masks, and appoints his own father along with Härski Hartikainen, Sörsselssön and other people from his home village to the government.
There is a news report that the Royal Couple of Sweden are going on a state visit to Norway, which makes Uuno realise that Finland is not a monarchy unlike the rest of the Nordic Countries. This mistake can only be remedied by making Finland into a kingdom.
As Uuno knows Sörsselssön can speak Swedish, he asks him to telephone the Swedish Royal Couple to invite them to Finland, so Uuno can learn from them the ways of the royals.
Uuno suggests to king Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden that they swap wives, which the king thinks is a good idea. The citizens of Finland support changing Finland to a monarchy and renaming streets and shopping centres after Uuno, and he gets awarded a statue.
Just as Finland is on its way to becoming a monarchy, Uuno's doctor tells him he should take leave of his post for a while. Uuno asks former President of Finland Mauno Koivisto to resume his post as president, because Uuno has found out the busy life of a king just isn't suitable for him after all.
