"Uuno Turhapuro – This Is My Life" is a 2004 Finnish comedy film, made as a tribute to Spede Pasanen. It is the twentieth and last part of the Uuno Turhapuro film series.

Plot

Uuno disguises as an old man and infiltrates a nursing home for rich old people, where his father-in-law also lives. The ever-hungry Uuno is seduced by the table groaning with food, but as it happens, he never manages to be there at dinnertime.

Meanwhile Sörsselssön enters Uuno for a TV competition named "This Is My Life", where contestants tell about their life as viewers vote them either to continue or out of the show. The nursing home elderly watch on TV as Uuno tells the show's host his life story.

Miscellanea

After Spede Pasanen, father of Uuno Turhapuro films, died in 2001, a group led by Ere Kokkonen decided to make a last Turhapuro movie for remembrance of him. The plot is based on Spede's and Ere's common idea of Uuno in a nursing home for the elderly. Plenty of archive material is seen in the movie, so Härski Hartikainen, played by Spede Pasanen, is also in the movie in the form of archive material.

Many Finnish celebrities can be seen doing cameo roles, such as Danny, Mika Häkkinen, Tanja Karpela and Ben Zyskowicz.
