A simple, but a funny movie that is made for a small target audience. The comedy is the big priority in this movie, and it works with its brutal humor. The story is funny, sarcastic, and even cute. I have only watched the Norwegian version, and the Norwegian actor Herman Flesvig does a well job by bringing 113 voices into this movie by himself. The animation has not the professional, or the detailed, top-class character or environment graphics, but this is not that important when it comes to this type of a movie. Recommending for the specific audience, but I think the minimum age should be 16 years because of the rough language.
Anders Matthesen has abillities like few other comedians in the world. His diverse cast of eccentric characters that function as caricatures on the stereotypical personalities we encounter are both obnoxious, hilarious and likable at the same time. With his infallible and characteristic voicing talent he makes flawless use of danish slang and culture to poke good-hearted fun at the current generation of youths, parents, teachers and even musicians.
The best part is that all the above functions as a scaffold on which a quite unique and captivating tale is told, whereas his previous movie "Terkel i Knibe" was a more two-dimensional collection of crude albeit funny gags. I won't spoil any details though. This time Matthesen has opted to have the main character be voiced by someone other than himself. This gives the feeling that the boy is trying to navigate in Matthesen's unpredictable universe, and one can't help but root for him.
In spite of crude humor and an especially brutal scene early on, the movie as a whole ends up being heartwarming, and when the credits roll you realize that you've been fully attentive and entertained for the duration of the film. Matthesen is one of the most, if not THE most iconic danish comedians which he certainly establishes with this achievement. I hope the title will reach a wider audience as it certainly deserves more attention and recognition.

It is a very good and interesting Danish animated film; the plot is decent and full of hilarious moments; I do not recommend it to children.
I really fun and entertaining movie for the whole family. Once again the Danes shows the world how it is done. The film dares to show that reality is a mixture of dark, sad events and fun heart filled experiences. A perfect film to watch with your kids.
I was also so happy to get more onkel Stewart!

This movie is awsome. So funny. The plot is so good. Funny all he way. If you like Terkel i knibe you will love this movie. Very original. I was a little sceptic at first . I dident think that i could be better then Terkel but i was wrong.
