Plot Summary
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 portrait of friendship and a final shocking reveal that you'll never be able to unsee.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's actually rather sweet, in its raunchy way.
Fresh: Essentially, this is a Scandinavian version of The Hangover, but maybe the planned American remake won't pretend to be something it's not.
Fresh: Mikkel Norgaard serves up an edgy brew that skewers just about everything Danish in sight, including the Dogma style of cinema, which comes off as increasingly passe.
Rotten: Raunchy dude comedy is hardly the sole province of American cinema, as Klown all too dispiritingly reconfirms.
