Ditte & Louise

This film is actually pretty hilarious, and also touching in places. The ending is not great, I think, which is why I wouldn't rate it higher. But it's hilarious, raunchy, and full of all the things you expect in a Danish comedy. It's also a pretty good look at what it's like to be a woman in a "man's world" - and shows it with humor and realism. There's plenty of awkward moments most of us can relate to, and I particularly enjoyed all the outrageous situations, often sexual, these gals find themselves in, both as women and also having to deal with the way other women can be. This film doesn't really hate men either, which is a nice touch. It just shows what it's all like, and how human interaction can be a big, fat mess many times - and it's okay!

I just love this movie. I loved the tv-series, so I was looking very much forward to the movie. It met all my great expectations. There are so many moments where I almost peed my pants, laughing. I love the way it washes the dirty laundry of an entire industry. To the point, and at the same time with humour and loads of love. The men in the movie are a bit course, but that is sort of the point, I guess. In any case, all the charactres - especially the women - from Dittes daughter to the female director of the viking movie - are all so lovable with all their different points of view and phasets of women and men, flaws and all.
