Klassefesten

"Klassefesten" is a Danish comedy film directed by Niels Nørløv Hansen and written by Claudia Boderke and Lars Mering. The film follows three former high school classmates, Niels (played by Nicolaj Kopernikus), Andreas (played by Anders W. Berthelsen), and Thomas (played by Troels Lyby), who are invited to their 25th high school reunion. While Niels and Andreas are not too keen on attending, Thomas convinces them to come by promising a wild weekend trip full of drinking, women, and saunas.

The film has a silly facade but has a real heart, with the characters being both complex and stupid but caring for each other. Along the way, the trio gets into some hilarious and sophomoric situations, but the film also takes some darker turns, showcasing the characters' vulnerabilities and issues.

Overall, while "Klassefesten" may not be anything groundbreaking, it is worth watching for the lovingly acted characters and the heartwarming moments that shine through the film's silly exterior. The film also features great performances from the lead actors, including Nicolaj Kopernikus, Troels Lyby, and Anders W. Berthelsen.

This movie is absolutely incredible.

Very nice. :)

Experienced TV-director Niels Nørløv Hansens first feature film is a Danish take on Old School and Hangover-movies. Of course on a far more realistic depiction, though maybe not funnier.

Three very different old class pals are now middle aged guys, which join up the night before a reunion party to prove to themselves they are not that old yet. The men are in all ways desperate both when it comes to manly-hood, sex, women and age.

All three main characters are doing a god mob in the main roles. Nicolaj Kopernikus is given the main role as Niels, and the two others are played by Anders W. Berthelsen and Troels Lyby.

The film is quite funny, though maybe a bit too much on the sex focused side for me o fully enjoy it. The music score also annoys after a while. More work with this would have made a better movie, but all in all a quite entertaining movie. But a classic it will never be.

This danish movie was one of the funniest I've seen in Denmark in a long time. It is a mixture of the HANGOVER films and OLD SCHOOL, but is still an original.

3 middle aged guys join up the night before a reunion party to prove to themselves they are not old yet. The night is an experience of a lifetime for them, and their lives are put into new perspectives both good and bad.

I give it 8 out of 10, since I could count a couple of those dull danish emotional moments, that makes the comedy seem to slow down a bit. But all in all a movie with international feel, with a lot of physical comedy for all to enjoy....
