Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

You know from the start this will be great. Some movies take a bit to get going but you know early on this one is going to be wierd with some strange outcomes. Subtitles are easy to read.

I've been anxiously awaiting the American release of Men and Chicken. Having become a huge Mads Mikkelsen fan, I've watched all of his movies I could get my hands on. As such, I've become a big fan of Danish cinema. The Danes have a really off-beat sense of humor that shines in this film. As other reviewers have said, this movie almost defies description. I will say that it's hilarious. It brought me to tears at times. The characters are quirky and unpredictable. They never cease to amaze, in more ways than one. Basically the story unites 2 sets of brothers who had never met, 2 of the brothers hoping to meet their biological father. In their own special ways, they learn from each other and enrich each others' lives. Without revealing it, there is a very interesting ending to the film. If you catch them, there are subtle clues to the ending throughout. The actors aren't afraid to make fun of themselves in both looks and actions. The dialogue is witty so read the subtitles quickly.

I don't even know where to begin with this. It's so far out, that if you're not expecting what is going to happen (as in not having seen the trailer or read the synopsis), you'll be blown away. Though even with some knowledge this should work wonders on ones brain. Just the fact that Mads Mikkelsen is in it, should be enough for anyone who's not familiar with the other cast members or the director to give it a go.Having said that, the humor won't be everyones taste. Actually some might not even consider many things happening as funny. They might label them with other things and words. But if you like humor that is quite quirky and weird, you will relish and cherish this. Although I wouldn't say the movie can be viewed as big twist movie, I didn't see things coming ... even the ones that were right there to put together!
