Frank Hvam plays frank who is one of those man child type of characters. His long suffering wife thinks time may make him grow up but then she gets 'in the family way' and realises he is not that much kop in the father department. So she ropes in a young relative called Bo who is 13 who has some confidence issues.She wants Frank to look after his young charge to prove he is going to be a good father. The big however is that his best buddy has planned a canoe trip that is intended to take in some of the more 'seedier' sights along the way – what happens is a full on un pc fest.I really like this it is gross in places and pushes the boundaries of taste but it does so in a really good way. It is a coming of age tale too but all wrapped up in some well acted and conceived scenarios. There is a fair bit of nudity too but all in context – and there is a follow up too – recommended unless you are easily offended.

As a Dane, I must warn against this catastrophe.The fine line between very funny and plain stupid and dumb has been crossed by miles here. I was never a fan of the TV-shows "Klovn" either, so maybe I am biased.Sort of reminds me of when small children say "Fart!" and run away laughing ...I know I may sound like a sour old man. I may not know a lot about jokes, but I know what I like ...If you have the choice between watching this movie and do something very tedious and boring instead - then get the boring job done!You will like yourself more for this decision afterward.

After enjoying a number of Danish films, both comedic and dramatic, this movie was nothing if not a significant disappointment. The actual moments of humor are few and far between. There is little that ties the movie together. One nurses the far flung hope that Frank might finally extricate himself from his own idiocy, but even after finally connecting with his own basic humanness in the relationship to the child, and 6 months in jail, we find him still trapped in an obtuseness that doesn't logically follow. The entire last scene would best have been deleted as it effectively undermines what semblance of redemption and growth were struggling to emerge. Any credible story does end up going somewhere other than where it started. Idiocy in and of itself is not comedy, but pathos. 'Klown' ends up coming full circle back to the status quo of dysfunction that it began with. The only one not particularly embarrassed in this last scene is the child whose genitalia has finally matured. Unfortunately the basic maturation of effective narrative eluded both the director and writer.

I've seen the sitcom Klovn many times, most Danes have and now I had to see the movie too. When watching the sitcom I've always laughed a little and then felt a baffled by the numerous stupid things Frank and Casper do. It's curiosity that keeps me wathcing and not a real interest. I think it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, the 4 points it gets are only for following the same theme as the sitcom well and for the good work of the people who worked on the film. My opinion other than that is going south. I hated it, truly. It's very frightening to live in a world where doing as many awful things as you possibly can, is considered humor. I know the concept is surreal, no person would ever get away with anything like that, but till... it's disgusting. I wish both of them would go back to the days of Langt fra Las Vegas, now that was funny, it was surreal and obviously so.
