This gem follows the highly successful Julefrokosten and a lot of the best danish comedic actors and actresses of that time joins in. Especially enjoyable are Preben Kaas and Jørgen Ryg.

It's vastly a non-story of a small company going on a picnic, the employees getting drunk and ending up at a theme park (Bakken). Doesn't sound that exciting, but the acting, the jokes and the realness makes it worth your while. It depicts the danish working-class 70'es with a lot of romanticism, but none the less, it is a great picture about that era. The danish alcohol-culture never stood so proud and tall.

If you liked Julefrokosten and The Olsen Gang, this might be something for you!

Sequel to the vastly superior 1976 comedy "Julefrokosten" which was about a wild christmas party in a small factory. This time, most of the same cast is reunited for a company picnic, which predictably goes way out of control. Despite sticking to the same formula as the original, the film has barely any laughs and looks like someone´s bad home video. John Hilbard´s inept direction doesn´t exactly help matters. Ole Thestrup, who once gained infamy by attempting to hijack a jumbo jet while he was under the influence, appears in the prophetic role as a drunken bus driver. *½ (of ****)
