I must admit, I expected a LOT more from this film. It seems Anders Thomas Jensen has now made the same movie three times. Sure the theme vary but somehow they all just look the same.
The same cast always, all the actors playing the usual roles they always play. Even Mads Mikkelsen repeats his role from Anders Thomas Jensens last film "The Green Butchers", actually repeating the same lines and acting out the same character - only now with a beard. I truly think these people should try harder if they wanna remain in the business. I however take off my hat for Ulrich Thomsen who makes this movie a 6 instead of a 5 or 4 as intended, THIS guy is great, and he is not one of those who keeps repeating himself.
Sure there are fun moments, and a lot of them, I laughed admittingly, but the jokes falls flat as soon as you realize that handicapped and mentally retarded children are actually not very funny stuff. Especially when the crude jokes are only these to cover up the fact that the storyline is lacking in consistence.
Anders Thomas Jensen, renew yourself - You've won an Oscar for your short film and that's amazing. Good work, but if you keep repeating yourself you're sure never to get another.
6/10 - and that's because of Ulrich Thomsen saving the day!
