Humour at odds - Klown review by CP Customer
In my humble opinion 'Klown' is NOT hilarious. It certainly "pushes the boundaries" but not of comedy but of the definition of comedy. Frank's friends relationship advice... "give her a pearl necklace". Frank, "what from Tiffany's?".. huge amounts of laughter.. "no you ejaculate on her neck".
Sorry, that is not comedy.

A sometimes funny Danish gross-out road movie - Klown review by PV
This Danish film was funny in parts - gross-out sometimes, but then look at Hollywood teen movies. This had some really funny bits and is not po-faced like US movies, so I am glad I watched it.
Not sure about the impro style though - common in Denmark. And totally unrealistic and unbelievable.
I enjoyed the jokes which would never get past censors in the UK or US, with the po-faced puritan hysteria of now. Jokes about rape/sexual assault banned now in US/UK.
Still, a Danish oddity. And mercifully short. Cartoon character stuff but fun and funny moments. The satire of privilege people male and female is fun.
The kids is cute - there is a sequel too. I suspect this is from a Danish TV show or a well-known comedian, though new to me.
3 stars.

Pathetic and morally questionable - Klown review by JW
Not sure how this got onto my list, but I wish I never rented it. Maybe you need to have seen the TV show to find it funny, I didn't. The performers do a decent job, but the supposedly shocking events fall flat, and everything is just so predictable.
The two main characters are just pathetic immoral man-babies, but we spend so much time in their company to make the movie itself pathetic and morally dubious. Quite sad that a film only made in 2010 would seem so dated already.
