Overrated and overhyped
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreTake a bunch of the characters from the Tarantino movie Jackie Brown, put them in a social realistic setting and add melodrama, comedy and a lot of vulgar jokes and you get this movie... - The thing is that a lot of the vulgar jokes probably looses a lot in translation, so foreign audiences are left with a very weird view of Danes, since the satirical elements (e.g. nudges at the hippie commune Christiania and the various egoistic family solutions) will get lost. Another problem is that the acting is uneven - Danish rap-star Jesper "The Joker" Dahl is hilarious as the psychopath "Samuel L. Jackson" character and Lene Maria Christensen is cute and bubbly as the blonde "Bridget Fonda" character. The rest is somewhere between folksy and overacting or under acting... If you have seen Jackie Brown and would like a different take then this might be fun - otherwise avoid. NB the vulgarity is all in the language - no blood or violence - it is all in good fun.
View MoreA very wacko movie but in a nice and entertaining way. Silly and yet real,with a bit of everything thrown in. Completely enchanting and I enjoyed watching it.Every character had a part to play so nothing went to waste. A little bit unreal though to see the dumb blonde becoming smart and able to surpass her mafia boyfriend's interrogation. It also shows how Danes can be weird but yet it is perfectly normal in their society. I would recommend this movie but only to those who understand the backdrop of the movie which showed a lot of the pushers' scene in Copenhagen (Christania) which without this knowledge, will fail to add to the charm of the story.
View MoreFantastic funny movie! Hella Joof has made a very good movie.... I saw it at a surprise screening in "Kinopalaet" and i did not have great expectations to it but i was positively surprised by the movie and can definitely recommend it to people who like movies such as "Adams Aebler"..... I had a lot of laughs through the whole movie! Oliver Bjerrehus "look a like" Rudi Köhnke plays the role as Kalle a young college student, who comes in debt to Paten, played by danish rapper Jokeren, well.... Lene Marie Christensen plays the role as the dumb blond superbly and danish comedian Jonathan Spang has a lot of good one-liners...
