The last wish of the dying "Monk" is for his foster child, Harald, to find his real son, Ludvig. But the latter is currently in a Swedish prison cell. Peter and Martin - the two chefs - want to get him out and soon father and son meet for the first time in their lives. They get on from the word go, but now dad needs a liver transplant and Ludvig and Harald set about raising the wherewithal. Everything goes wrong when they try to rob a bank, though they meet Mille, who puts them onto a new trail, and Peter and Martin also make a contribution. However, soon they have the cops and the anti-terror corps on their tails. —Danish Film Institute

Great Fun

I just watched this again for the first time in 15 years. I found it just as good fun second time around. I've spent a lot of time in Denmark so it's worth pointing out that some of the humour here is very Danish. Until you know DK very well, some of their humour doesn't always translate to an English audience. The bit where they meet the Swedish hotel man cracked me up (that's how Danes view Swedes :) so there's also some 'regional' humour going on. It's written, acted and directed well and overall, it's a fun watch with a lot of slapstick style humour. 7/10
