Not very good, 12 May 2009
3/10
Author: don_Django from Denmark

I just rented the DVD the other night and was really excited. I had been looking forward to this film for a long time because of all the good reviews it had received..

I was deeply disappointed. You can tell the main plot instantly, the characters are stale and not lovable at all. There isn't really any great attempts on humor in the film and the pace is very very slow.

There are so many other movies about small local communities in all genres (Needful Things, Sleepy Hollow, Italiensk for Begyndere (DK), Hot Fuzz, the TV-show League of Gentlemen etc.) and Frygtelig Lykkelig is just not up to par.

I'm sorry to say I can't recommend this movie.

Try these Danish movies instead. They are guaranteed to make you laugh:

Blinkende Lygter, En Kort En Lang, Grev Aksel, De Grønne Slagtere, I Kina Spiser De Hunde

If you do watch this movie however, it will leave you with many unanswered questions and a feeling of unfulfillment and disappointment.
