Imagine taking Curb Your Enthusiasm and mixing it with the gross out comedy of a movie like The Hangover. To some people this may sound like the worst thing ever, especially the thought of taking Larry David’s work and mixing it with a movie like that, how could they? The answer to this question is a movie called Klown, which in turn is based on a television show from Denmark. While not many people in the UK will have seen the television show, the film is an eye opener to something they just might like.

When Frank (Frank Hvam) finds out his girlfriend is pregnant she lets him know she is not sure that he can actually be a good father. To prove to her that he can,...

Following on from six triumphant television series, it seemed that the natural progression for Mikkel Nørgaard’s popular Danish comedy show Klown, was to become a hit of the big screen – and expand beyond Scandinavia and reach out to audiences across the world. Now, with a theatrical release in the UK impending, we finally have the opportunity to experience the wonders of this brilliantly outlandish and charmingly offensive creation.

When liability Frank (Frank Hvam) discovers his girlfriend Mia (Mia Lyhne) is carrying his child, he knows that he has one hell of a task on his hands to convince her that he is fit for parenthood. However when their house is broken into, and he offers little protection for her 12-year-old nephew Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen), who they’re looking after, Frank needs to do something really special to prove his worth as a father. So he makes a rash...

I normally do not subscribe to the hipness of using “Omg” but found the obnoxious acronym making numerous appearances in my mind while watching Klown. Based on the popular Danish television series by the same creative force, the film fine tunes its awkwardly direct and unbelievable content to fit perfectly within a feature film.

Klown follows the antics of Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen) as they embark on the “Tour de Pussy,” an annual pilgrimage to the estate of a wealthy man who hosts the best prostitutes from around the world for just on day of unforgettable debauchery. But, this is the story of their journey, not of the event itself. After Frank makes an utter mess of his relationship with Mia (Mia Lyhne) following some major, unexpected news. He joins Casper for a canoe trip down the river to the big event, but not without making a...

Image Entertainment has provided us with an exclusive featurette from the Drafthouse Films comedy Klown, currently available on Blu-ray, DVD, and several digital outlets. Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen star as two friends who decided to take young Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen) along on their trip to visit a famous Danish brothel. Along the way, they discover that Bo has an extraordinarily tiny penis. This behind-the-scenes featurette shows just exactly how they made this microscopic prosthetic device.

Klown - Exclusive The Penis Featurette

Klown follows two wildly inappropriate friends (played by celebrated comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen) as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing through social taboos, unspeakable debaucheries and absurd sexual encounters. Misguided Frank kidnaps the nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in an eager attempt to prove his fatherhood potential, while the sex-driven Caspar is determined to visit a world-renowned brothel - only a couple of...

Klown Directed by: Mikkel Norgaard Written by: Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen Starring: Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Marcuz Jess Petersen Klown is a Danish film based on a popular television series (Klovn) that ran six seasons before things wrapped up in 2009. Now the co-creators who also starred in the series bring their ribald brand of comedy to the big screen in a madly inappropriate take on the classic road trip film. Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen) make an unlikely pair. Casper is perpetually looking for ways to get laid, never mind that he is married. He orchestrates a weekend canoe trip under the guise of having a boy's weekend, but he really wants to get away from his wife, and dubs the weekend "Tour de Pussy", even though mild-mannered Frank has no interest on cheating on his girlfriend. Casper is the alpha dog and walks all over Frank.

Title: Klown Director: Mikkel Norgaard Starring: Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen, Marcuz Jess Petersen, Mia Lyhne, Iben Hjejle Kind of loosely of a piece with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s “The Trip,” by way of ”The Hangover” or “Bad Santa,” Scandanavian import ”Klown” is another comedy that wrings most of its laughs from the premise that in the absence of a civilizing female presence males are apt to revert to despicable and idiotic behavior. A raunchy road movie and winner of the Best Comedy Film prize at last year’s Fantastic Fest, director Mikkel Norgaard’s is crisply acted and peppered with enough legitimately funny set-ups to win over the subtitle-averse, even if toward the end it [ Read More ]...

Arriving in select theaters this Friday, July 27th, from Drafthouse Films, is one of the funniest comedies of the year. Based on a Danish television series of the same name, Klown follows best friends Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen as they set out on a sex-fueled canoe trip away from their significant others. These plans go south when Frank is unexpectedly forced to care for his young nephew Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen). Despite the presence of this ten-year-old child, Frank and Casper push on, pulling off some of the raunchiest jokes ever witnessed in the history of cinema. It's the "Tour de Pussy!" And it's not to be missed. If you don't live near one of the select theaters playing Klown this weekend, you can rent and watch the film directly from us! Just click on the player below.

We recently caught up with the two masterminds behind this ribald...

Drafthouse Films' "Klown" is about a clown. Not the red-nosed, balloon-animal-making jokester you see at a 10-year-old's birthday party, but an average joe who's constantly f**king up, despite his good intentions.

"Klown," which is based on the widely popular Danish TV show of the same name, stars Frank Hvam and Caspar Christensen as Frank and Caspar, two friends planning a big canoe trip on which nobody else is allowed, and for a very good reason: They've named their journey the "Tour de P***y," which will involve canoeing to a whorehouse and indulging in the wanton pleasures therein.

This seems like a dream come true for any hormone-raging male, but there's one major hangup — Frank has a serious girlfriend who's pregnant and doesn't think he's fit to be a father. To prove her wrong, he kidnaps his 12-year-old nephew and brings him along for the ride to prove that he's dad material,...

Klown has been called one of the funniest and raunchiest films of the year. GeekTyrant is giving you a chance to watch the movie in its entirety. Directed by Mikkel Nergaard, Klown stars Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen, Marcuz Jess Petersen, Mia Lyhne, and Iben Hjejle.

Synopsis:

In what critics are hailing as “the funniest movie of the year!” (IFC), Klown follows two wildly inappropriate friends — played by celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen — as they run amok through the Danish countryside, plowing through endless awkward confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly wrongheaded Frank “kidnaps” the 12-year-old nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in an eager attempt to prove his fatherhood potential, and they join sex-crazed Casper on his secret adulterous weekend canoe trip. Rampaging through exclusive brothels, hospitalizations, armed robberies and even prison, the three paddle downstream from one chaotic misadventure to the next, all culminating in a surprisingly sentimental...

On June 30th stars Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and producer Louise Vesth joined over 100 fans on an unforgettable canoe trip down the Guadalupe river. At the end of the canoe trip attendees were treated to a Rolling Roadshow screening of Klown and a Q&A. We now have footage from this event, along with the new Mondo poster.

Mondo artist Alan Hynes created a poster to celebrate the Drafthouse Films release of Klown. "The simplistic bold look of the poster takes a cue from the original look of Klown series; large Futura type and negative space, very Euro" said Mondo artist Alan Hynes.

Sadly, this poster is now sold out. But stay tuned, as for tomorrow, we will have information on how you can watch Klown right here at this very website!

Considering that humor is the most universal language in film, it’s a shame we don’t get exposed to more movies like Klown. This Danish comedy offers some of the best laughs of the last couple years, balancing both the deadpan style of today’s indie comedies with enough mainstream antics that a Hollywood remake seems a foregone conclusion.

Based on the popular Danish television series of the same name that ran for six seasons starting in 2005, it seems strange that an audience (though I should first speak for myself) with absolutely no familiarity with the show — let alone a show in another language — could fully enjoy the proceedings.

The truth is that the best premises tend to deliver the best comedies, and the fact that this movie centers on two adult men in committed relationships set to embark on a canoe trip they have deemed the “Tour de Pussy” says it all.

Frank (Frank Hvam), the hapless protagonist of the funny but disappointingly diagrammatic Danish film "Klown," musters only one nugget of wisdom for his 12-year-old charge, Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen). It's sage advice from a professional man-child to a burgeoning one: "When grown-ups are horny, they do terrible things to those they love." Well, at least the guys of "Klown" do. Director Mikkel Norgaard's comedy mixes handheld, documentary-style camerawork, juvenile raunch, and a buddy trip gone awry: Lars von Trier with penis jokes, Judd Apatow with Scandinavian liberalism, and a dash of "Deliverance" leavened with phrases like "Tour de Pussy." If its various disasters — "man flirting," sexual misapprehensions, scatological humiliation — are derivative, "Klown" at least ups the ante a bit, direct and vulgar. (About the funniest gag, all I can say on a family website is that it involves an...

A Buffoon Buffet: Danish Comedy Brazen, Ballsy, Adult Fun

Witness the most surprising, and hands down, funniest film to be released in American theaters this year with Klown, the feature debut of Mikkel Nørgaard, based on his 2005-2009 Danish television series of the same name. Released in his native country in 2010, the film has managed to gain some notoriety playing at a small number of festivals stateside, the content so brazen, so daring, so adult (not pornographic, per se, but in its ability to be realistic in its comedic scenarios and not cop out to please the fantasies of the moral majority), that it reveals its closest American counterpoint, The Hangover to be the bullshitty scam it really is. And surprisingly, it’s got a crack at being dumped into American cinemas, though it may already be destined for cult superstardom since it is utterly offensive to mainstream sensibilities. Oh,...

Want to impress your friends with your world knowledge of cinema? Then go see the Danish comedy Klown, which is hands down the funniest film of the year (so what if you have to read subtitles, you big baby?). This rauchous adventure stars Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen as two lifelong friends, both in committed relationships, who set out on a canoe trip they've secretly dubbed "Tour de Pussy!" Things take a turn for the hilarious when Frank's young nephew Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen) is forced to come along. Check out two new clips, and then be sure to check out Klown when it hits select theaters and VOD on July 27th.

Klown comes to theaters July 27th, 2012 and stars Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen, Marcuz Jess Petersen, Mia Lyhne, Iben Hjejle, Lars Hjortshøj, Tina Bilsbo, Mads Lisby. The film is directed by Mikkel Nørgaard.

Klown is going to be remembered in December as the funniest film of the year, beating anything the U.S. has to offer in the way of comedy. It's a benchmark in joke-telling that goes above and beyond the genre of so-called "gross-out" humor. Its biggest jokes don't easily die after the laughs have quieted. Instead, they slowly roll and build into the next disaster awaiting Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen as they set out on a sex-fueled canoe trip that is sidelined by the sudden inclusion of a young boy. Sure, Todd Phillips is planning to remake it with Danny McBride, but it will be impossible for them to recapture the kind of off magic put on display here. Only the Danish could ever be so bold. Some of the sites seen here won't soon be unseen any time in the near future. Drafthouse Films, who are distributing the...

Here is a trailer for Klown: The Movie or Clown: The Movie depending on where you live. The movie, directed by Mikkel Norgaard and starring Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Marcuz Jess Petersen follows two friends on a vacation deemed by them to be a “Tour de Pussy”, so there’s that.

A reader sent this in and I really wasn’t that interested until they mentioned that Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) is set to write and star in the remake, which makes a lot of sense.

Klown will be released in theaters and VOD/Digital on July 27th.

In what critics are hailing as “the funniest movie of the year!” (IFC), Klown follows two wildly inappropriate friends — played by celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen — as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing through endless awkward confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly wrongheaded Frank “kidnaps...

Let's make something very clear up front: this trailer for Klown (Klovn) is the definition of "not safe/suitable for work" so don't even think about watching it in your cubicle unless you've already put in your two weeks notice. Directed by Mikkel Norgaard and starring Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Marcuz Jess Petersen, Klown follows a male-bonding vacation between two friends that is deemed by them to be a "Tour de Pussy." Complicating matters is Frank's (Hvam) kidnapping of his pregnant girlfriend's 12-year-old nephew to accompany them on their debaucherous trip so he can prove his parenting skills. HBO's Eastbound & Down star, Danny McBride, is set to write and star in the remake of the Danish project and I can definitely see why he is a perfect fit. This new red-band trailer highlights the strange friendship between Frank and Casper and a woman who, literally, gets stuck in between...

Danny McBride is joining forces with producer Todd Phillips for a remake of the Danish comedy Clown for Warner Bros.

The Eastbound & Down actor will write, produce, and star in this comedy, which centers on two men who go on vacation with a 13-year-old boy. The original movie was spawned from the TV series, which follows Casper and Frank, who plan a party-heavy vacation. Their plans are thrown asunder when Frank must take his girlfriend's 11-year-old son with them on the trip, to prove he's a good father, even though they continue to party with the young boy in tow.

Todd Phillips is only attached as a producer at this point, and is not set to direct. Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam, who created and starred in the original series Klovn, are on board as producers of the remake.

No production schedule was given, although it is said that Danny McBride...

What's the funniest movie of the year? "Bridesmaids?" "Horrible Bosses?" "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never?" No, the funniest movie of the year so far is a Danish comedy called "Clown." The only problem with this movie is you can't see it: it currently has no distribution and its content is so edgy, it might have trouble finding it without some significant cuts. So it's the funniest movie you won't see this year. It poses a sort of cinematic philosophical conundrum: if a movie is hysterical, and no one is around to laugh at it, is it really funny?

"Clown" is a big-screen adaptation of a TV series of the same name that I'd never even heard of before it screened at Fantastic Fest. Fortunately, you don't need to know anything about the series to enjoy "Clown;" all that's required is a love of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"-style observational-slash-confrontational awkwardness and Farrelly Brothers-style gross-out sex humor.

I normally do not subscribe to the hipness of using “Omg” but found the obnoxious acronym making numerous appearances in my mind while watching Klovn, or Clown: The Movie in English. Based on a popular Danish television series by the same creative force, the film fine tunes its awkwardly direct and unbelievable content to fit perfectly within a feature film.

Klovn (Clown: The Movie)

Written by Mikkel Nørgaard, Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam

Directed by Mikkel Nørgaard

Denmark, 2010

For many, child-rearing is a terrifying prospect. The idea that some other being manifests themselves and usurps one’s position as the most important being in one’s own life can be troubling, particularly if one’s self-actualization is rather stunted. So it’s with no surprise that Frank (Frank Hvam) is less than thrilled when, while attending his friend’s wedding, he discovers that his wife (Mia Lynhe) is pregnant. She’s less than thrilled, too, since Frank has proven himself to be less than father material, and she’s weighing the possibility of terminating the unborn child. Frank is naturally incensed, and seeks to prove his worthiness as a father by essentially abducting young Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen) and taking him along on a camping trip with best buddy Casper...
