At this point, I don't see any Americans giving a user review for this, and while I don't want to carry the weight of my country on my shoulders (!), I thought I'd give a comment here.
First of all, I was surprised that this was an actual TV series in Denmark. I didn't realize this until after I saw the movie, and looked at some of the additional features on the DVD. Now because I was unaware of the TV series, maybe I missed some subtle things about the movie, but I can assure anyone who's thinking about seeing this movie that it was NOT necessary to have seen the TV series in order to enjoy it.
I thought it was funny, and very bawdy and risqué, but after reading about it, I was a little fearful that it would be too over-the-top and tasteless for me. I can see how others wouldn't like it for these reasons, but if you can handle what they do in the "American Pie" series, than you can more than handle this.
Secondly, I'm glad I didn't know that this was being compared to "Curb Your Enthusiasm," because I hate CYE, and I wouldn't have seen this movie because of that. Thankfully, this wasn't at all like "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Don't let that deter you. I thought it was more like the "Jackass" series in America for Klown.
Again, not knowing any of these actors/characters before seeing the film, I liked Caspar the best. When he kept on saying, "It's the Tour de P***y", that would just crack me up.
