This is a very good Danish movie, period. A few Danes think that this is a very bad film, because it took focus away from Danish art-films. Art films only a few people saw and all of are all but forgotten to day. This film is very simple and dumb - but it is fun, and that is the most important thing. Just because this film does not have some "greater" message does not make it any lesser of a film. Because of this, the film is very much liked by many average Danes - people that never would have seen any art film, even if it were free. A film like this is remembered by the public - and most art films are not (only the best are that). This film had an impact on pop-culture, and therefore it can be immortal. And that is better than an art film, which is forgotten in 10 years. And that is a fact. Walther and Carlo will always be remembered in Denmark.
But this film is properly not suited for non-Danes. They would not think that it is funny. OK, maybe people from Sweden or Norway. But outside Scandinavia = no.
This is a good film, no question about it. Good, not Great. But of course it is not a classic.
