The humor is pernicious and, even though highly unlikely, it still is a cult for me. Not better than other Jensen films for me (especially not Adam's Aebler or Valgaften), but it's still original and carrier of a Jensen's uniquely mad signature. I can't find a single flaw in the performances, since both four members of the main cast are brilliant and nothing less and the stories of them as children/teenagers are just delightful.

    Funny and freaky Danish action comedy about four gangsters that buy an old house out in nowhere and transform it to a restaurant.
