So... this is Danish comedy?
1 January 2006
That's really all I can say about a film like this. I had very little interest in seeing this film to begin with, so that says something about my lack of enthusiasm all around I guess. If at all, I was slightly interested because the film does star Kim Bodnia from "Pusher", which I love. Oddly enough, the film seems to begin as something of a parody of "Pusher", which I assume was intentional, especially considering that the films also share another actor in a nearly identical role. From there the film (more or less) progresses in it's silly, oddball way, completely unengaging but totally harmless. It seemed to jerk unsteadily between conventional mainstream lowbrow comedy and what I can only assume is a more specified Danish brand of dark humor. Of the two, I definitely preferred the latter, that is, in the brief moments when I could understand it. Sometimes I had the feeling that, even then, I was missing the jokes and possibly laughing at unintended things. I have to admit that I found the most pleasure in this film from imagining it being remade as a sequel to Wes Anderson's "Bottle Rocket", for whatever that is worth.
