"ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR!"
There are several funny movies made in 2012. From a handful I have watched, this one is on Top for laugh-out-loud fun and entertainment throughout. Frank Hvam, a comedian, plays the role of a guy who wants to prove that he could be a good father to his pregnant girlfriend. In order to prove his fatherhood challenge, he decides to kidnap a child to impress his girlfriend that he has good fatherhood potential. Trying not to give away too many Spoilers here. The two of them venture out through the Danish countryside, not conforming to the standards of society. Their friendship is not the normal, and the young boy has a mind of his own with weird sexual encounters. They run around as if they own the world, and trouble is waiting. Some raunchy moments, but many very funny moments. A Good comedy, Acting Performance Superb, and a Great summer movie to get a few laughs. Highly Recommended!
Danish Humor. No, really. Danish. Humor.
Turns out Larry David is not socially inept, he's Danish. There is an uncanny resemblance between Frank Hvam and Larry and if you enjoyed Curb Your Enthusiasm, you'll like this movie.
The big surprise is that it's from Denmark. Now don't get me wrong. I have nothing but admiration for the Danes. In fact all Scandinavians rank high with me. Just look how well they run their own countries. We should look to them for guidance. Even the food isn't bad, except for the lutefisk. It's just that, until now, I was under the impression that Scandinavians lacked the humor gene. This was not an idle assumption; it was based on the jokes I was told by people from that part of the world. First, a Danish Joke: "We call hamburgers 'russian elevator operators' in denmark. Because they are minced meat as you will be if you let one operate an elevator. Hahahahahahaha." No, I'm not kidding. And the teller was an adult. Really.
Okay, get ready for the second joke. It was told to...
Effin funniest movie I've seen in a long time
I saw this at a film fest that was packed about 50-50 with women and men. The women laughed uproariously.
The milieu of the film is extremely sexist. Prudes need to remember that Klown presents a comic view in which the moral order provides basic justice for the most sexist characters. The main character is a lovable dork, who is basically a good guy and loving partner. The dvd includes a very funny episode from the tv show and is directed by Lars Von Trier. That might re-enforce the belief that Klown is mysogynistic but in reality Mr. Von Trier's episode is extremely funny.
Very Larry Davidesque.
