julefrokosten par chrosstv12
This is a Danish crazy comedy with a 'family drama' as a backdrop.
Anders Bo (Thomas Voss) is hired as a car salesman in a big company but as one of his first tasks, his boss tells him to infiltrate the annual Christmas party in the small competing shop 'Holger's Auto'. Why? To steal their custom file, of course.
When succesfully working 'undercover' he realizes that the task given to him has something to do with a family feud where father and son happen to be on the opposite sides of this car dealing business.
During the party a lot of more or less strange things are going on and one of the employee's, Buller (Kim Bodnia), is hit in the head, loosing his memory, not knowing who he is he and not knowing who the others are either. One of the female workers takes advantage of this so satisfy her needs.
After a lot of confusion and mistakes, involving Santa Claus, an SM-interested female employee (above mentioned), a very pragmatic boss at the car company and his vengeful son, they all unite in the end.
This not least thanks to love, the love between Amalie (Julie R. Ølgaard), the daughter of owner Holger (Dick Kaysø) and Anders Bo.
After seeing this film and in spite of Kim Bodnia who we appreciate very much (even though he's too type casted) and other fine actors, we concluded that comedy is perhaps not the Danish film industry's strongest card.
Drama, social conflicts, somewhat violent films about socially handicaped persons, they succeed very well makaing.
When it comes to comedies there are some good actors or rather have been but today I feel more as if one can find good comedians in Norway and - in a more tragically comical way - Finland.
It's not at all a bad film but - again - the screenplay is not sufficiently strong and the gags in the film, not as funny as to compensate for the weak story. Better luck in the future!
