    Awesome movie, Stomic cramps from laughing
    This is a awesome movie, I got stomach cramps from laughing and so did my wife and most of the people in the movie theater.

    It's really a good simple comedy, with sweet storyline, about being to competitive to appreciate the important things in life.

    This movie is co-written by one of denmark's best comedians (if not the best), and it really transcends in the movie. You are in no time in doubt about this being a comedy, the time between laughs can in the second part of the movie, be a little longer, but it have to be so, because your stomach wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.

    A really funny comedy.
