    The idea of sending a neo-Nazi into community service with a priest is pretty fantastic stuff for a mix of comedy and drama. And for the first half this Danish film makes good use of a handful of pretty funny situations, thanks to the colliding characters of the ex-con and the ju...( read more)st as crazy priest and regular signs of a pretty sick sense of humor. Some parts around the middle maybe turned a bit too bizarre, dramatic and unbelievable, but the great actors make up for it and by the time of the solution the film is back on track. Worth seeing.

    There's not much really to be said about this film. Just that it's a masterpiece and probably the best comedy I have watched in my life. Educative, spiritedly astute, magnificent in its sarcasm. Exceptional performances, unexampled direction and a truly brave script. Denmark mig...( read more)ht have a slowly-developing cinema, but it's a cinema worth waiting for. I wish everybody could make movies like this: you laugh when you want to cry, you wonder and you are amazed. What more does one need?

    Another great piece of danish cinema! Dark, odd, ambiguous - like any film from that nation. A very stylized and even entertaining film, that breaks away from the Dogme rules.

    This movie had so many deep meaning and points of interests, it is a simple tale of hope, meaning of life and personalities, I liked Mads Mikkelsen's acting, it blew me away, and the plot, if you aren't too sensitive to black humor, I recommend you to watch Adam's Apples. I'd lik...( read more)e to say that I was not used to Danish humor, and sometimes I did not understood some scenes, and that made me feel bad. Concept of the movie revolves around themes like religion, mental dis-behavior and good vs. evil.
    Summary, it was just perfect!

    Plagada de situaciones tragicómicas y con un tono entre filosófico e irónico deja un mensaje un poco confuso pero altamente disfrutable. Recomendada.

    This movie is definitely one of my all time favorites. There aren't many movies out there with concepts as rich as this. I've watched it many times so far and I'd happily do so again. Food for thought indeed.
