Storyline
Jesper Jensen is a successful IT salesman who stops at nothing, even if it means backstabbing his best friend. Being number one in the company and having a beautiful wife and a lovely home, Jesper seems to lead a perfect life, but one day his arrogance and self confidence hits him in the face like a boomerang and he loses everything overnight. Jesper is sentenced to do community service at a recycling center with the odd and funny characters Dion, Theodor, and Lotte. At first he looks down on these people and doesn't want to be associated with them. When he begins to loosen up, however, he discovers that he can learn a lot from their straight forward and honest approach to life. Written by Anonymous

Trivia
The opening sequence of the theatrical version featured a shot of the headquarters of the scandalized IT Factory, a company involved in huge corporate frauds. The text on the front of the building was changed in the DVD version to say ITS Infocom. See more »Crazy Credits

Recent years I have become quite proud of most of the work that came out of the danish movie scene. This however is NOT one of them!
There's a ridiculous notion in Denmark these days that Standup Comedians are the answer to everything. This movie however is proof that it's really not the case! The more stand uppers that emerged the worst the humor got and this is an example of a mediocre danish stand upper, entirely known for his facial expressions, trying to be a comedy writer! Yikes!!
It's a total waste of time with bad timing, wasted talent and really lame jokes!
Oh and the totally overrated Thure falls flat and shows he's only a "funny face" not a great actor!
