Den eneste ene

Of course this movie is not without its flaws, but the way it handles quite a few things, is just phenomenal. It is funny and engaging at the same time. It is close to life, but still heightened in a way that is very entertaining. If you let it be, that is of course. It might not be your kind of humor.

Very well acted, with a classy timing and a nice pace throughout, this masters to also be thoughtful at times and has nice deal of drama put into it for good measure. I watched it with subtitles and it did not take anything away from the movie. You get the power of the actors, even if you do not understand the language. It's a special way, they communicate in the movie, that enhances the movie (experience)

It seems like the only comments here are very negative. I found it rather entertaining, maybe it did not fully live up to the reviews but most of the history works. I think that both the lead characters are well played by Niels Olsen and Sidse Babett Knudsen and Lars Kaalund is great as the friend of Niller. Sofie Gråbøl made toes crumble but not because of bad play but because the character she played was so embarrassing clumbsy. But if people prefer movies like "Op på fars hat" and "kampen om den røde ko" then I come short of arguments.

To the comment bellow. I'm Danish myself, and we are not at all racists. The film is very ironic, something we Danes are allot. I completely understand that you were repulsed by the use of the word(s), but his role was very ironic. If you are interested in understanding the Danish humor, I can definitely recommend Adams Apples (Danish title: Adams Æbler). I just thought that I would make it clear that Danes are NOT racists. I think it's a great movie, showing great values of life, so I'm sorry if You can't see anything else that the racist punchlines. I find that both Sidste-Babett Knudsen and Niels Olsen does a phenomenally great job in this movie.

I must say that it's the best danish picture I've ever seen, even if Festen also was a very good and interesting film. This is a romantic comedy which is as good as the best american and english once, for instance When Harry Met Sally... and Four Weddings And A Funeral. If you like that kind of movies and can accept the danish language =) you will like this movie, Den eneste Ene, too.

Truly appealing and funny romantic comedy from Susanne Bier with a star-making performance by Sidse Babett-Knudsen in the lead, Niels Olsen in his most appealing role to date and great support from Lars Kaalund, Sofie Gråbøl, Søs Egelind and Paprika Steen. Too bad that Sonny (aka Andrea) the Italian guy is such a caricature, but that´s a minor quibble for this feel-good movie which also happens to be beautifully photographed (especially when compared to the Dogme 95 films). The soundtrack was almost as big a hit as the movie. *** (of ****)
