...but the owners are a hoot.
I'll make this quick: This is one of them totally underrated flicks you either stumble upon or overlook them entirely.
It starts out as a small-time gangster flick. And develops into a comedy/drama that is actually very touching and most certainly does rind with almost all of us.
Imagine: You get the chance to get out of your stagnant daily grind. What would you do? This group of small-time criminals get that chance and they try to get even with their past. All main protagonists did have some serious bumps in their youth (and later on) that left them somewhat damaged. When they get a chance to turn their lives around they grab it and go for it. A much better message than the hollow "live your dream" mantra.
The only shortcoming of the movie are some of the more naive characters. The acting is decent, setting and story go okay. All in all a well done Scandinavian flick (Dansk made, to be precise). Go and give it a try.
