I have to start with the fact that Thure Lindhardt is one of my favorite actors, and he was the main cause that made me watch this movie. I wasn't disappointed by his performance, as it was great as usual. The rest of the cast wasn't bad either. I'm not quite sure about the movie itself though..Maybe the script was bad, maybe the jokes were dull, or maybe I just didn't get it..Each nation has it's own sense of humor-although I understand danish, I didn't find the jokes funny at all. But that doesn't necessarily mean they were bad. Romanian jokes are hilarious for us, but might seem totally unfunny for an outsider, either because they are untranslatable or we just don't share the same sense of humor.After all, it's all relative.
I couldn't believe my own eyes when I read some of the review here - did we watch the same movie!? Let's just keep it real here for a moment - danish comedies that are actually fun are a rare species, and being the best danish comedy in years isn't saying allot - but this movie ain't that movie - in fact it's probably the worst danish comedy in years! It's totally predictable and has virtually no laughs. None of the characters have anything going for them - but the script is the main culprit here - just shocking how lame these jokes are! Me and my girlfriend had heard form a bunch of people, like the ones who praised it here, that this movie was great, so rented it with quite some expectations - so imagine our disbelief when this stinker was over! Anyways, what I'm trying to say here - If your looking for laughs or any kind of entertainment Blå Mænd isn't what you need!
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.

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....

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! :)
