wischer This is the best animated movie ever. I love the dark story hidden in a child looking animation. I laughed through the whole movie and I can watch it over and over again and still laugh. The rough danish humor combined with childish look makes this movie to a masterpiece. If you are expecting a lame child movie then you will get surprised. There is suicide, cursing, murder and murder attempt, bullying and much more. But all these dark sides becomes okay when the movie has these innocent child looking characters, and this makes it to a funny comedy instead of some tasteless crap. This is one of my favorite movies! i really recommend it. If you don't like it, then you don't have a sense for humor.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This is based on the Special Edition DVD. I've been a fan of Anders since my initial exposure to him. This particular outing is a little different, in that it's one of the few times that he redoes something he's already done in another of the several mediums he's mastered. He did a television version of his radio Christmas calendar, and this is a movie version of an audio story that he put out on CD(which is superior to this). Most of the writing, overall, remains the same, with a bit of the timing lost for some reason, a couple of scenes are moved or excised, and new material, as well. The animation is smooth, high quality and they get a high level of detail. This has stuff for those who have already heard the story, as well as things that are just as much for new viewers. It's fairly well-directed, and though the range of expression is a tad limited, the cool plot gets told nicely enough, whether or not you know it beforehand. There are surprises, and very worthwhile, fresh sequences. For those that don't know, this deals with Terkel, a pre-teen boy who has a fairly regular school- and home-life. Bullying and an angry, out of control, and(in Denmark, anyway) well-known, uncle lead to complications, and that's all I'll say. The tendency is towards the reveals and such being more effective in the original form, but the visualization is always interesting. All of the new music for this is great. The humor is what we're used to from The Duck, with there being aggressive and/or offensive stuff, morbid dark comedy, clever and sometimes goofy jokes and gags. If you're into it, this is hilarious. I don't know if a lot of non-Scandinavians are going to enjoy this as much as we do, and I can't comment on any other voice version than the Danish one(the multi-talent being the sole performer), which is marvelous. The pacing is perhaps somewhat uneven. On the disc is found, after you navigate the unnecessarily annoying menus, various silly extras that go on for longer than the fun of them lasts, including the Stewart Stardust in-character feature commentary track. There is a lot of bloody, gory violence, disturbing content and strong language in this. I recommend this to any and all fans of Matthesen, though definitely listen to the first release of this tale before watching this. 7/10
Yiffenstijn Its so funny i cant stop with laugh.its funny to that is with the godfather,the Blair witch project etc.I like this movie but i have some questions about the movie like 1.That guy who wants to kill Terkel,he wants to kill Terkel because he has sit on a spider but he sent message's with death animals.And more.So thats is something.but it is funny.And like his mother is a slut, is dad says on everything no,and his sister have always pain:she gets two times a fork in her eye and she falls from the stairs etc.And a fat kid is in love on Terkel but Terkel call her names to protect himself against bully's.And then the girl jumps out of a window.If you don't like humor with a lots of obscenity and violence i recommoded you don't go see this movie.
ks4 As i was coming to this movie i expected a hilarious movie, the movie has gotten many positive reviews and generally just a lot of positive media coverage as well, also it has grossed very high for a danish movie, but i have to say i was dissapointed at how much lack the movie has of a real meaning, it feels sometime empty and build only on the brilliant usage of the danish language, which was good, but not funny in the way i had expected.Anders Matthesen is one of the highest rated standup comedians in Denmark, and naturally he was bound to make a real movie at some point, well here it is, and it even takes full use of one of "Anden's" famous characters, Uncle Stewart, however, despite a good background for the movie, i was somehow dissapointed, the humour, as i had expected to be laughing to dead over this, i wasn't, instead i only found myself laughing once. Which i must admit, is too little for me when the movie is supposed have its strength of the humour. So basically i found the movie dissapointing becauase it was based on how you liked the humour, and as i didn't laugh much the story seemed rather empty, i did however enjoy the fantastic use of the danish language, that was perfect, all kind of slang, every little phrase of the danish language, natural as alternative, was used, it was great, and i'm every dane will think that watching this, while foreigners might have a problem.The directing itself is fine i guess, it's an animated movie so it doesn't really exist i feel, but there are some scenes where the "camera" is used in a nice alternative way.For the acting it's all Anders Matthesen, and yeah that is brilliant, he does voice for all the characters in the movie, which is a lot, and nowhere can you hear it's the same person doing it, just simply amazingly done.I base my vote on what i thought of the movie really, besides "Anden's" genius use of the danish language and the great way of using his voice differently from all characters was fantastic, but besides this the movie didn't get really get to me, when you base a movie so much on the humour you better make sure it works, and it probably does work a lot for many, but i just didn't find it funny, and that makes the story seem kinda empty, even though there was a lot of morale in it, it just didn't cut through becuase it was far from what the movie intended to do.4/10
