A fatphobic movie that brings nothing to the table
10 July 2022
Once you watch the movie, you realize why there's such a big gap between the movies directed by Thomas Jensen - I guess Mads and Nicolas Bro are big pals of him to keep joining his projects.

The best part of the movie are Mads and Nikolaj (Otto). I guess it has to be a Danish film if you can get good acting in a terrible comedy (?) with an awful script.

The worst part is the fixation with how much they use being fat for cheap laughs: if Mathilde is told by Lennart that she's fat, we have to laugh, if Emmenthalter takes too much space in bed, we are expected to laugh and then the likeable character of Otto says that fat people want to be around other fat people so they don't look as big... what's with the writer/director's obsession with the subject?

It's not worth it. I didn't get anything out of it. Maybe watch it on a plane and that's it.
