I've been wanting to watch this film forever. I saw the Danish original "Klatretøsen" when I was 10 years old and still like it very much. However, this remake left me quite disappointed. I've watched a couple of American remakes of Danish films - "Catch that Kid", "The First Time/Love at First Hiccup", the latter being one of my favorite (Danish) films ever.
However, the American remakes tend to turn way too cliché for my taste. Lame humor, downright horrible line-delivery, the inability to stay true to the mood in the originals. It seems that lots of key elements are lost in translation. Wouldn't watch either this or "The First Time" again; I would however recommend viewers (and especially non-Danes) to check out the originals.
