Dreadfully Boring

Best movie ever!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is the best animated movie ever. I love the dark story hidden in a child looking animation. I laughed through the whole movie and I can watch it over and over again and still laugh. The rough danish humor combined with childish look makes this movie to a masterpiece. If you are expecting a lame child movie then you will get surprised. There is suicide, cursing, murder and murder attempt, bullying and much more. But all these dark sides becomes okay when the movie has these innocent child looking characters, and this makes it to a funny comedy instead of some tasteless crap. This is one of my favorite movies! i really recommend it. If you don't like it, then you don't have a sense for humor.

I found the movie quite a surprising piece of artistic work. If you enjoy the Tim Burton animations such as Nightmare Before Christmas you will enjoy this one. Bewarned this is a little more darker and also has its own take on animation. Watch for the small details, such as eyes, eye lid movements, lips to express feelings. Fantastic! The story line becomes an unexpected mild mystery/horror, with a few short twisted musical numbers thrown in. Overall, its was unusual but kept me entertained and watching. I didn't really walk away with anything but amusement. I guess that's what it was all about. Definitely worth watching.

I am astonished that this film gets such favourable reviews on IMDb. It is one of the worst films I have ever seen and one of only three that I have walked out of before the end. I saw the English language version at a screening room in London with seven others. It's difficult to know where to start the criticism - but how about the non-moving plot; the deeply grating, irritating characters (so he has a dad who only says one word - 'no' - ha ha very funny); the sick, repellent detail; the stupid, pitiful songs; the lack of any sort of sympathy. It could be that the humour simply doesn't translate for a non Danish or non European audience, and that's the understatement of the year. I can't imagine how anyone in Britain could want to watch this for more than three minutes. The only plus is the slick computer animation. But who really gives a damn about that when the script is such utter, utter, UTTER drivel.

As i was coming to this movie i expected a hilarious movie, the movie has gotten many positive reviews and generally just a lot of positive media coverage as well, also it has grossed very high for a danish movie, but i have to say i was dissapointed at how much lack the movie has of a real meaning, it feels sometime empty and build only on the brilliant usage of the danish language, which was good, but not funny in the way i had expected.Anders Matthesen is one of the highest rated standup comedians in Denmark, and naturally he was bound to make a real movie at some point, well here it is, and it even takes full use of one of "Anden's" famous characters, Uncle Stewart, however, despite a good background for the movie, i was somehow dissapointed, the humour, as i had expected to be laughing to dead over this, i wasn't, instead i only found myself laughing once. Which i must admit, is too little for me when the movie is supposed have its strength of the humour. So basically i found the movie dissapointing becauase it was based on how you liked the humour, and as i didn't laugh much the story seemed rather empty, i did however enjoy the fantastic use of the danish language, that was perfect, all kind of slang, every little phrase of the danish language, natural as alternative, was used, it was great, and i'm every dane will think that watching this, while foreigners might have a problem.The directing itself is fine i guess, it's an animated movie so it doesn't really exist i feel, but there are some scenes where the "camera" is used in a nice alternative way.For the acting it's all Anders Matthesen, and yeah that is brilliant, he does voice for all the characters in the movie, which is a lot, and nowhere can you hear it's the same person doing it, just simply amazingly done.I base my vote on what i thought of the movie really, besides "Anden's" genius use of the danish language and the great way of using his voice differently from all characters was fantastic, but besides this the movie didn't get really get to me, when you base a movie so much on the humour you better make sure it works, and it probably does work a lot for many, but i just didn't find it funny, and that makes the story seem kinda empty, even though there was a lot of morale in it, it just didn't cut through becuase it was far from what the movie intended to do.4/10
