Imagine taking Curb Your Enthusiasm and mixing it with the gross out comedy of a movie like The Hangover. To some people this may sound like the worst thing ever, especially the thought of taking Larry David’s work and mixing it with a movie like that, how could they? The answer to this question is a movie called Klown, which in turn is based on a television show from Denmark. While not many people in the UK will have seen the television show, the film is an eye opener to something they just might like.

Following on from six triumphant television series, it seemed that the natural progression for Mikkel Nørgaard’s popular Danish comedy show Klown, was to become a hit of the big screen – and expand beyond Scandinavia and reach out to audiences across the world. Now, with a theatrical release in the UK impending, we finally have the opportunity to experience the wonders of this brilliantly outlandish and charmingly offensive creation.
When liability Frank (Frank Hvam) discovers his girlfriend Mia (Mia Lyhne) is carrying his child, he knows that he has one hell of a task on his hands to convince her that he is fit for parenthood. However when their house is broken into, and he offers little protection for her 12-year-old nephew Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen), who they’re looking after, Frank needs to do something really special to prove his worth as a father. So he makes a rash...

I normally do not subscribe to the hipness of using “Omg” but found the obnoxious acronym making numerous appearances in my mind while watching Klown. Based on the popular Danish television series by the same creative force, the film fine tunes its awkwardly direct and unbelievable content to fit perfectly within a feature film.
Klown follows the antics of Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen) as they embark on the “Tour de Pussy,” an annual pilgrimage to the estate of a wealthy man who hosts the best prostitutes from around the world for just on day of unforgettable debauchery. But, this is the story of their journey, not of the event itself. After Frank makes an utter mess of his relationship with Mia (Mia Lyhne) following some major, unexpected news. He joins Casper for a canoe trip down the river to the big event, but not without making a...

Klown Directed by: Mikkel Norgaard Written by: Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen Starring: Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Marcuz Jess Petersen Klown is a Danish film based on a popular television series (Klovn) that ran six seasons before things wrapped up in 2009. Now the co-creators who also starred in the series bring their ribald brand of comedy to the big screen in a madly inappropriate take on the classic road trip film. Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen) make an unlikely pair. Casper is perpetually looking for ways to get laid, never mind that he is married. He orchestrates a weekend canoe trip under the guise of having a boy's weekend, but he really wants to get away from his wife, and dubs the weekend "Tour de Pussy", even though mild-mannered Frank has no interest on cheating on his girlfriend. Casper is the alpha dog and walks all over Frank.

Title: Klown Director: Mikkel Norgaard Starring: Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen, Marcuz Jess Petersen, Mia Lyhne, Iben Hjejle Kind of loosely of a piece with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s “The Trip,” by way of ”The Hangover” or “Bad Santa,” Scandanavian import ”Klown” is another comedy that wrings most of its laughs from the premise that in the absence of a civilizing female presence males are apt to revert to despicable and idiotic behavior. A raunchy road movie and winner of the Best Comedy Film prize at last year’s Fantastic Fest, director Mikkel Norgaard’s is crisply acted and peppered with enough legitimately funny set-ups to win over the subtitle-averse, even if toward the end it [ Read More ]...

Drafthouse Films' "Klown" is about a clown. Not the red-nosed, balloon-animal-making jokester you see at a 10-year-old's birthday party, but an average joe who's constantly f**king up, despite his good intentions.
"Klown," which is based on the widely popular Danish TV show of the same name, stars Frank Hvam and Caspar Christensen as Frank and Caspar, two friends planning a big canoe trip on which nobody else is allowed, and for a very good reason: They've named their journey the "Tour de P***y," which will involve canoeing to a whorehouse and indulging in the wanton pleasures therein.
This seems like a dream come true for any hormone-raging male, but there's one major hangup — Frank has a serious girlfriend who's pregnant and doesn't think he's fit to be a father. To prove her wrong, he kidnaps his 12-year-old nephew and brings him along for the ride to prove that he's dad material,...

Klown has been called one of the funniest and raunchiest films of the year. GeekTyrant is giving you a chance to watch the movie in its entirety. Directed by Mikkel Nergaard, Klown stars Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen, Marcuz Jess Petersen, Mia Lyhne, and Iben Hjejle.
Synopsis:
In what critics are hailing as “the funniest movie of the year!” (IFC), Klown follows two wildly inappropriate friends — played by celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen — as they run amok through the Danish countryside, plowing through endless awkward confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly wrongheaded Frank “kidnaps” the 12-year-old nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in an eager attempt to prove his fatherhood potential, and they join sex-crazed Casper on his secret adulterous weekend canoe trip. Rampaging through exclusive brothels, hospitalizations, armed robberies and even prison, the three paddle downstream from one chaotic misadventure to the next, all culminating in a surprisingly sentimental...

Considering that humor is the most universal language in film, it’s a shame we don’t get exposed to more movies like Klown. This Danish comedy offers some of the best laughs of the last couple years, balancing both the deadpan style of today’s indie comedies with enough mainstream antics that a Hollywood remake seems a foregone conclusion.
Based on the popular Danish television series of the same name that ran for six seasons starting in 2005, it seems strange that an audience (though I should first speak for myself) with absolutely no familiarity with the show — let alone a show in another language — could fully enjoy the proceedings.
The truth is that the best premises tend to deliver the best comedies, and the fact that this movie centers on two adult men in committed relationships set to embark on a canoe trip they have deemed the “Tour de Pussy” says it all.

Frank (Frank Hvam), the hapless protagonist of the funny but disappointingly diagrammatic Danish film "Klown," musters only one nugget of wisdom for his 12-year-old charge, Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen). It's sage advice from a professional man-child to a burgeoning one: "When grown-ups are horny, they do terrible things to those they love." Well, at least the guys of "Klown" do. Director Mikkel Norgaard's comedy mixes handheld, documentary-style camerawork, juvenile raunch, and a buddy trip gone awry: Lars von Trier with penis jokes, Judd Apatow with Scandinavian liberalism, and a dash of "Deliverance" leavened with phrases like "Tour de Pussy." If its various disasters — "man flirting," sexual misapprehensions, scatological humiliation — are derivative, "Klown" at least ups the ante a bit, direct and vulgar. (About the funniest gag, all I can say on a family website is that it involves an...

A Buffoon Buffet: Danish Comedy Brazen, Ballsy, Adult Fun
Witness the most surprising, and hands down, funniest film to be released in American theaters this year with Klown, the feature debut of Mikkel Nørgaard, based on his 2005-2009 Danish television series of the same name. Released in his native country in 2010, the film has managed to gain some notoriety playing at a small number of festivals stateside, the content so brazen, so daring, so adult (not pornographic, per se, but in its ability to be realistic in its comedic scenarios and not cop out to please the fantasies of the moral majority), that it reveals its closest American counterpoint, The Hangover to be the bullshitty scam it really is. And surprisingly, it’s got a crack at being dumped into American cinemas, though it may already be destined for cult superstardom since it is utterly offensive to mainstream sensibilities. Oh,...

Here is a trailer for Klown: The Movie or Clown: The Movie depending on where you live. The movie, directed by Mikkel Norgaard and starring Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Marcuz Jess Petersen follows two friends on a vacation deemed by them to be a “Tour de Pussy”, so there’s that.
A reader sent this in and I really wasn’t that interested until they mentioned that Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) is set to write and star in the remake, which makes a lot of sense.
Klown will be released in theaters and VOD/Digital on July 27th.

What's the funniest movie of the year? "Bridesmaids?" "Horrible Bosses?" "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never?" No, the funniest movie of the year so far is a Danish comedy called "Clown." The only problem with this movie is you can't see it: it currently has no distribution and its content is so edgy, it might have trouble finding it without some significant cuts. So it's the funniest movie you won't see this year. It poses a sort of cinematic philosophical conundrum: if a movie is hysterical, and no one is around to laugh at it, is it really funny?
"Clown" is a big-screen adaptation of a TV series of the same name that I'd never even heard of before it screened at Fantastic Fest. Fortunately, you don't need to know anything about the series to enjoy "Clown;" all that's required is a love of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"-style observational-slash-confrontational awkwardness and Farrelly Brothers-style gross-out sex humor.

Klovn (Clown: The Movie)
Written by Mikkel Nørgaard, Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam
Directed by Mikkel Nørgaard
Denmark, 2010
For many, child-rearing is a terrifying prospect. The idea that some other being manifests themselves and usurps one’s position as the most important being in one’s own life can be troubling, particularly if one’s self-actualization is rather stunted. So it’s with no surprise that Frank (Frank Hvam) is less than thrilled when, while attending his friend’s wedding, he discovers that his wife (Mia Lynhe) is pregnant. She’s less than thrilled, too, since Frank has proven himself to be less than father material, and she’s weighing the possibility of terminating the unborn child. Frank is naturally incensed, and seeks to prove his worthiness as a father by essentially abducting young Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen) and taking him along on a camping trip with best buddy Casper...
