Reviews
Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
gogoschka-1 Mean, very funny satire with amazing performances by all - and with an absolutely outstanding Mads Mikkelsen. This is a very black comedy, but also a very smart one that shows once more that Scandinavian - and especially Danish - cinema had some of the most diverse and creative output in Europe over the last two decades. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495
beesofia I honestly haven't seen a movie like this before...quirky, dark, moody and sometimes violent...Adam's Apples had me tied in knots by the end of the movie! What I am discovering about Danish film is that you actually get to know all of the characters and their quirks...then, most of the story evolves around how the individual characters interact with each other.Strange as it may seem, I could relate to each and every character and how they dealt with what life threw at them...even the doctor was weird but interesting.I can't express enough how fantastic this movie is...if you are curious about Danish Film...watch this first!
lewiskendell "Let's stop with the accusations. It was an old cat. He just happened to fall down while we were shooting."There are dark comedies. There are pitch black comedies. And then, there's Adam's Apples.If you want to watch a movie that takes some of the most depressing, horrible things you can think of, and makes them absolutely hilarious, this is the movie for you.I won't spoil much of the story, as watching what unexpectedly happens throughout is one of the pleasures of the movie. It begins with a priest named Ivan driving an unrepentant neo-Nazi named Adam from prison to the church where he will be performing his community service. Ivan gives Adam the choice of one goal to set for himself to complete, before he leaves. Ivan, completely uncaring, chooses to make an apple pie from the apple tree outside the church, once they are ripe.From there, things quickly get out of hand. Let's just say that the sensitive need not apply. I recommend Adam's Apples to people with a dark sense of humor, who are fine with laughing at incredibly inappropriate (yet incredibly amusing) things. This movie was made for people like you and me. I'm not referring to low-brow humor. This is a different animal. An utterly unique (as far as my experience goes), intelligent comedy that ultimately brings sunshine forth from some of the darkest clouds you've ever seen (both figuratively and literally).
lionel-libson-1 Until I saw this film last night, I thought that Bjork was the ultimate in significant meaninglessness. A new standard has emerged. If I didn't know the heroic role of the Danes during WWII, I'd have been less annoyed by the passive passion and empty moralizing.The Book of Job plays a role in defining the action, and might have added a powerful message about man vs. God. Unfortunately, the writer seems to have skipped the poetic climax of this scriptural story."Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?", God replies to the torment of Job. Archibald MacLeish and Tom Paine understood the magnitude of this question. Few things are as frustrating as a script that is overwhelmed by the concept it addresses.Even the "assault" on Big Oil is trivialized as a ransacking of a filling station, making victims, not of the Wealthy, but of their underpaid employees.The Director has managed to place an emotional filter between the viewer and the screen. Do we care? Is there a connection? Perhaps for those pathetic individuals who gather stoically around a traffic accident. I think I should lie down and wait for my feelings to subside.
