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.
