    Pretty bad and crass, something I watch with family

    This is wierd one to talk about. I like this movie and find it funny but at the same time it seems a bit amateurish and the second half feels rushed. Stay for the jokes and forget your watching a by the books story.

    A man with a high end job gets into a drunk driving accident and ends up doing community service at a recycle station. Here he finds real friends and learns about himself.

    The actors are what carries this movie. They sell thier charecters and jokes and without them the movie would be downright bad. The commitment for every part envolved is what works.

    The story is incredibly cookie cutter and predictable. The moral is predictable as well but works for the movie. The movie is a bit too busy creating needless conflict sutch as the classical "someone hears something they shouldn't" or "annoying the boss", it's over done tropes and forced. The romance is also incredibly forced and adds nothing to the plot.

    The first half works fine as a movie but the second half is rushed the movie all of a sudden just resolves just because and your left shrugging at the rushed conclusion.

    Some jokes really work here because the actors understand how to deliver them. We have the high-end ritch kid who talk over the head of everyone. The girl with a lively Imagenation, the idiot and one with anger issues. Everyone has thier time to shine and thier kind of humour. Some jokes really don't land because it's vulgar jokes for vulgar sake. Those parts never really land.

    The edeting is a bit off sometimes with wierd jump cuts but overall fine.

    This is in no way a masterpiece but a "it is what it is" movie. It works for what it sets out to do with funny and great preformances but never becomes more than that.

    Predictable and humor everyone understands.

    This movie is a pretty easy going one. It's easy to follow, and the humor is on such a level that everyone can understand it. However, this might also be the movies downside. Personally I only found a few occasions where I would bother to smile, simply because the humor isen't anything other than plane normal. The story is very predictable and never makes any twists or turns that would throw the audience off. Two actors do their jobs well. Thure Lindhardt takes the cake, closely followed by Troels Lyby. Sidse Babett Knudsen and Mick Øgendahl dosen't stray too far from what we've seen them do before. I doub't I would wanna see this movie again, unless the rain was coming down outside, and someone had stolen my movie collection and locked my door from the outside. All in all, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would enjoy this movie - but not me.

    :D:D:D - The funniest Danish movie ever ! :b

    I love this movie, because it is so funny, but it has also a very good message; it is not just another funny movie with no meaning! Even though everybody; old people, kids and so on, can see it and have a good time watching it, because it has a very easy plot.

    The first time I saw it was at Roskilde Festival. The whole building laughed all the time! It was the greatest movie-experience, I have ever experienced.

    Then I saw it again in the cinema and my friends and I laughed even more! :)

    • Mick Øgendahl is a very god actor, scriptwriter and stand-up comedian, and therefore I have only one more thing to say: Mick Øgendahl, you have to make more movies !!!!

    Fantastic movie!!!!

    It's a super funny movie, from the beginning to the end. The idea about a recycle station is brilliant, nothing less!!

    And it's nice to see so many off Denmarks greatest actors in the same movie.

    Sidse Babett Knudsen from "Efter Brylluppet" and "Den eneste Ene" is playing her role as the lesbian Lotte fantastic

    And Troels Lyby from "Okay", and "En Kort En Lang" as the boss at the recycle station, is a very serious man, but in a funny way, så you just love him :-)

    Especially Thure Lindhardt toke me by surprise. Actually I did not really know him before this movie, but he is a brilliant actor!!

    There is so many actors who deserve to be mentioned for this movie, but instead of doing that, I will suggest that you see it yourself, and laugh until your stomach hurts....

    Excellent!

    Not much to say other than, loved it! Danish humor at its best with some of the hottest danish actors around. Crazy about Mick Øgendahl's jokes and acting! Seen all his previous projects over and over again, so it's nice to see something new come out from his side. Even down to the smallest characters we see great casting, so that could alone give this film a 10/10, but seeing them all coming together in this picture is plain awesome ! The directing is great too. Watch this with a couple of your best friends and it's sure to be a great night! I'm so gonna get this on DVD when it arrives, and it's gonna be my best friends Christmas present as well.
