mmlml Ida's Father has known to be a good climber, but in one event he fell down. A long period he has had no injuries of the fall, but suddenly he collapses and is hospitalized. He needs expensive surgery, but the Danish state does not pay for this kind of surgery. Ida, with her 2 pals Sebastian and Jonas sneak into a bank and try to steal money for the surgery. This is a heist film for children; although the 3 kids break into a bank, which is of course illegal, they act out of despair to prevent Ida's father from dying. The American remake "catch that kid" is not as good as this movie. Catch that kid is in my opinion a bad remake and my preference lies with this movie. This is original.
Nina Karlsen 12 year old Ida has a talent for climbing. She shares this interest with her beloved father, and is always looking for a new challenge. Her father runs a go-kart track, her mother is security manager in a bank. Ida's two best friends, Sebastian and Jonas, are hanging around competing for her attention and hoping for the privilege of becoming her boyfriend. One day her father is diagnosed with a very serious illness and the only thing that can save his life is a very expensive medical operation in the USA. When her mother fails to secure a loan, Ida decides to take the matter into her own hands. With the assistance of Sebastian and Jonas she starts planning a stunt that will make her Denmarks youngest bank-robber ...
BennyM Frankly, I was disappointed. The storyline was farfetched, the dialogue was entirely artificial, and the direction and camera work certainly did not live up to the trailer. Too centered around 'grown-up' themes for the kids, but aimed too much at teens to be a hit with the parents. The basic flaw, I think, is that 13-year-olds are too narrow a target audience. But it probably pleased the older part of Bubber's audience.
Malmir This movie is the absolutely perfect way to explain what a good movie is. It is a movie both for children and parents, and it is "timeless". I saw this movie before Ocean's Eleven and must admit that the actors in OE has class in advance, but the play of Klatretøsen is much more down-to-earth and moving. Why i say Ocean's Eleven, is the fact that these 2 movies has many things in common and Klatretøsen is THAT good ! that it can bear comparison with OE. The 3 youngsters play their part in a perfect way not to believe, compared to what we are used to in Denmark. The different cases of impossible acts, is handled in a way that you wouldn't belive from many young actors (and sometimes not even from the "old boys"). The story ? again it has things in common with Ocean's Eleven except for the reason of stealing the money and in Klatretøsen they need to climb up to the strongroom. The part in which the young people has to take care of Ida's younger brother, gives a fine element in the movie. Try to imagine how to rob a bank with a 2 year child with a nappy, on your arm :-).This movie can bear comparison with most "grown up" movie like MI2 and Ocean's Eleven. Yes i do believe it is THAT good. It is best to see it in a theater, as all the children in the room comments the movie and these comments will stay in your hearts forever :-).Regards Klavs.
