Predictable and humor everyone understands.
This movie is a pretty easy going one. It's easy to follow, and the humor is on such a level that everyone can understand it. However, this might also be the movies downside. Personally I only found a few occasions where I would bother to smile, simply because the humor isen't anything other than plane normal. The story is very predictable and never makes any twists or turns that would throw the audience off. Two actors do their jobs well. Thure Lindhardt takes the cake, closely followed by Troels Lyby. Sidse Babett Knudsen and Mick Øgendahl dosen't stray too far from what we've seen them do before. I doub't I would wanna see this movie again, unless the rain was coming down outside, and someone had stolen my movie collection and locked my door from the outside. All in all, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would enjoy this movie - but not me.
Best Danish comedy this year!
I saw this movie at Roskilde Festival 2008 and I'm going to see it again at a preview, a week before the official release date! This movie is so funny. I was laughing the whole time. Danish actor and co-script writer Mick Øgendahl has without a doubt created a movie that is set to go on as a Danish comedy classic, such as Sprængfarlig Bombe and Blinkende Lygter. The plot is easy to follow and isn't confusing at all if you just pay a little attention. It's easy to understand but the movie is about the lovely trash-humor that is just hard not to laugh at. This is definitely worth a watch!
Bad excuse for a comedy!
This movie is all about hype and the fact that it's written by one of the most prominent stand-up comedians in Denmark. Having heard so many good things about this movie I finally decided to watch it, that was a very bad idea. This movie has been defined as the biggest comedy movie in the last decade. But that's just it, had this been written by some other guy other than Mick Øgendahl (the aforementioned stand-up comedian) this would not even have been labeled comedy. More like a love-story with comic relief. Thure Lindhardt delivers (as always) a very good performance and Mick Øgendahl is also quite good. Other than that none of the actors are working too well. In fact during Sidse Babett-Knudsens first flashback I got goosebumps because of the bad acting. Normally Unconving at best, but in this movie she delivers a performance which is worthy of the IMDb's bottom 100 list. Giving her a path where she frequently has to speak English is a very stupid idea, mainly due to the reason that she cannot speak the language at all. This movie is probably the biggest disappointment so far this year and frankly I don't see anything beating it to the finish.
Not the forward step of Danish Film!
Recent years I have become quite proud of most of the work that came out of the danish movie scene. This however is NOT one of them! There's a ridiculous notion in Denmark these days that Standup Comedians are the answer to everything. This movie however is proof that it's really not the case! The more stand uppers that emerged the worst the humor got and this is an example of a mediocre danish stand upper, entirely known for his facial expressions, trying to be a comedy writer! Yikes!! It's a total waste of time with bad timing, wasted talent and really lame jokes! Oh and the totally overrated Thure falls flat and shows he's only a "funny face" not a great actor!
This movie is NO fun!!
I couldn't believe my own eyes when I read some of the review here - did we watch the same movie!? Let's just keep it real here for a moment - danish comedies that are actually fun are a rare species, and being the best danish comedy in years isn't saying allot - but this movie ain't that movie - in fact it's probably the worst danish comedy in years! It's totally predictable and has virtually no laughs. None of the characters have anything going for them - but the script is the main culprit here - just shocking how lame these jokes are! Me and my girlfriend had heard form a bunch of people, like the ones who praised it here, that this movie was great, so rented it with quite some expectations - so imagine our disbelief when this stinker was over! Anyways, what I'm trying to say here - If your looking for laughs or any kind of entertainment Blå Mænd isn't what you need!
