Denmark

Loved it, it's not what I would class as a true comedy where the writer is trying to make the audience laugh out loud, it's a cute comedy and that's probably a bad attempt at trying to pigeon hole it. The amazing thing is though and somewhat spooky is I've often said to friends if I have nothing, no job, no home, no money, I would do exactly the same as what this guy attempted do only I would choose Norway because some prisons there the inmates have the luxury of cells which more or less fit the description of apartments. Sometime in the future I will watch it again and I if you get the chance I think you could a lot worse than to watch this also/

A well thought through & written piece. The acting is excellent.

It has that classic bitter sweet kitchen sink social commentary.

So many in Wales (& other parts of the UK) face a desperate situation like the lead character. The film makes you face society's flaws with a back rub rather than a fist.

This movie will frustrate you make you happy and sad it's a genuine tragic comedy and very close to the truth

The movie starts in Wales where the protagonist is down and out. No job, his kid doesn't like him, his mum doesn't like him, he lives in an awful flat. He decides to go to Denmark to do a crime to get into a great jail that he saw on television. He gets there and goes to a bar and meets a female bartender. Also after that a dog follows him around. For no reason. He doesn't even have food. The female bartender befriends him. For no reason. He doesn't even have charisma. He tries to commit a crime. He can't. The bartender invites him to her mother's house to meet her and her daughter. For no reason. The whole movie is based on the man's point of view and through a man's imagination. No woman would act like the bartender.

There's no real arc or story to speak of and in lesser hands this would have been a molten dumpster fire but Spall manages to drag it over the line with a decent supporting cast. If you're waiting for sometime heartwarming to happen you'll be waiting a long time.
