This movie is a pretty easy going one. It's easy to follow, and the humor is on such a level that everyone can understand it. However, this might also be the movies downside. Personally I only found a few occasions where I would bother to smile, simply because the humor isen't anything other than plane normal. The story is very predictable and never makes any twists or turns that would throw the audience off. Two actors do their jobs well. Thure Lindhardt takes the cake, closely followed by Troels Lyby. Sidse Babett Knudsen and Mick Øgendahl dosen't stray too far from what we've seen them do before. I doub't I would wanna see this movie again, unless the rain was coming down outside, and someone had stolen my movie collection and locked my door from the outside. All in all, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would enjoy this movie - but not me.
I couldn't believe my own eyes when I read some of the review here - did we watch the same movie!? Let's just keep it real here for a moment - danish comedies that are actually fun are a rare species, and being the best danish comedy in years isn't saying allot - but this movie ain't that movie - in fact it's probably the worst danish comedy in years! It's totally predictable and has virtually no laughs. None of the characters have anything going for them - but the script is the main culprit here - just shocking how lame these jokes are! Me and my girlfriend had heard form a bunch of people, like the ones who praised it here, that this movie was great, so rented it with quite some expectations - so imagine our disbelief when this stinker was over! Anyways, what I'm trying to say here - If your looking for laughs or any kind of entertainment Blå Mænd isn't what you need!
It's a super funny movie, from the beginning to the end. The idea about a recycle station is brilliant, nothing less!!
And it's nice to see so many off Denmarks greatest actors in the same movie.
Sidse Babett Knudsen from "Efter Brylluppet" and "Den eneste Ene" is playing her role as the lesbian Lotte fantastic
And Troels Lyby from "Okay", and "En Kort En Lang" as the boss at the recycle station, is a very serious man, but in a funny way, så you just love him :-)
Especially Thure Lindhardt toke me by surprise. Actually I did not really know him before this movie, but he is a brilliant actor!!
There is so many actors who deserve to be mentioned for this movie, but instead of doing that, I will suggest that you see it yourself, and laugh until your stomach hurts....

I have to start with the fact that Thure Lindhardt is one of my favorite actors, and he was the main cause that made me watch this movie. I wasn't disappointed by his performance, as it was great as usual. The rest of the cast wasn't bad either. I'm not quite sure about the movie itself though..Maybe the script was bad, maybe the jokes were dull, or maybe I just didn't get it..Each nation has it's own sense of humor-although I understand danish, I didn't find the jokes funny at all. But that doesn't necessarily mean they were bad. Romanian jokes are hilarious for us, but might seem totally unfunny for an outsider, either because they are untranslatable or we just don't share the same sense of humor.After all, it's all relative.
Not much to say other than, loved it! Danish humor at its best with some of the hottest danish actors around. Crazy about Mick Øgendahl's jokes and acting! Seen all his previous projects over and over again, so it's nice to see something new come out from his side. Even down to the smallest characters we see great casting, so that could alone give this film a 10/10, but seeing them all coming together in this picture is plain awesome ! The directing is great too. Watch this with a couple of your best friends and it's sure to be a great night! I'm so gonna get this on DVD when it arrives, and it's gonna be my best friends Christmas present as well.
