Julefrokosten

I was looking forward to having a couple of hours good laugh, and with the plot and the number of talented actors represented in this movie, how could I not? ...But I didn't. Far from. I don't think that either I, nor the friends watching the movie with me laughed even once. So disappointing.

The lines were tacky, the actors mere shadows of their usual talented selves.

I don't know what went wrong. I went to see the director's previous movie, "Blå Mænd" and found it to be refreshingly funny, but this one is JUST NOT FUNNY. It displays the kind of humor Danish movies were full of in the 60s and 70s, but even then they at least seemed to believe in what they were doing. This is not the case in this movie.

One piece of advice: Save your money for something better!

I do not understand the low ratings for this movie, it is a typical Danish wild panic movie, it got a plot and it got plenty of laughs.

Sure it is not compareable to the belowed 1976 version but it is still good and it deserves a better rating.

Its so bad, I had to stop half way in.. don't waste your time on this, just move along. The storyline is so thin and bad it's pathetic. It almost seems like this movie was made for people with autism, because the jokes are so childish.

The only thing that impressed me about this movie, is that they managed to make a really bad movie with really good actors.

They should have spared the image of the actors and done a cartoon instead. Or not done the movie at all! I wouldn't believe some of the high ratings given. I haven't met anyone who enjoyed this movie. I went to see this movie at the cinemas last year, but I still feel a ripped of one year later…

What bothers me the most, is that with all the all the issues, cliché happenings, embarrassing moments you find at a traditional Danish Company Christmas Lunch(Julefrokost) you should have enough material to create a brilliant movie – especially with that cast!

There are so many other great danish movies, don't waste your time or money on this one.

A lot of great actors. Thats it! The movie is one of the worst ever made. Anyone praising this, must have some financial gain. Because it does not get worse than this. I have actually seen this twice, because I could not believe that it really was that crappy. But it is.

This has to be the directors + produceres that complete ..... How the heck did they get this movie made. The director has made one other Lortefilm, Blå Mænd. which also has some of the similar problems.

I am actually stunned, that they did not test screen this. They must have had a lot of fun making the movie, and forgotten to think about the audience. Because no one I know, likes this movie.
