I love Hill & Spencer from the Trinity and Nobody movies. So I go into this with much expectation and a lot of positivness. But oh boy, what a mess.
Bad plot, inept acting, abysmal directing, laughable casting (was massive teeth a prerequisite?). My spontaneous thought was, this is an 8th grade school play.
Both Hill & Spencer are seasoned actors at this time so why they accept participating is a mystery. Maybe it's not obvious during the filming to get an idea of the quality of the outcome? Or they got paid well? I feel bad for my two heroes for this mess.
I suppress the memory of this disaster; I want to keep on adoring Hill & Spencer for their good movies.

It is impressing that the director succeeds in making the crop of the most well known Danish actors look like amateurs, fumbilng morons and school comedy wannabees. It is excruciatingly embarrassing.
Maybe it is unfari to point out one disaster but Ulf Pilgaard falls flat on the face in an inept hysterical performance. Fumbling is not easy done on film but this failure is beyond belief.
This film is a stain on the CV for a dozen of the most loved and famous actors and comedians in Denmark. I feel sad for them.

I am so happy I watched this movie.
It is so bad and inept that it rates as my #1 all-time moronic movie.
Everything the characters do and say is not funny but moronic.
To top it off it relies on the two most moronic antics in movie production: 1 - verbalizing what is shown on the screen 2 - repeating a line to transform it into humor
Ref. 1 - Are American viewers blind? Why do American movie makers presume we don't get what we see if it is not verbalized and explained? Millions of dollars are spent on visual scenes but lo and behold, a character has to say what we just saw. Why not save the visual side? If they throw away the pictures and send the soundtrack as a radio play nothing will be lost.
Ref. 2 - Say a line, not funny. Repeat it and it goes funny. Re-repeat it and it is more funny, re-re-repeat it and it is very funny, re-re-re-repeat it and it is hilarious. And then explain the joke, so we, the dumb audience, get it. Jeeeezus.
This movie is made by 6-year-old minds for a 5-year-old audience.
