Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Just what I expected
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There are various coming of age comedy road trip movies such as the Road Trip, Hangover, Euro trip, National Lampoons where the characters stumble and tumble through various misfortunes and accidents to ultimately form a bond that lasts for the life time. And then there is this. Frank is an average guy with good intent who is usually misunderstood and finds himself in circumstances that are inexplicable to others. Because of this Franks pregnant girlfriend is in dilemma of whether to have his kid or not. To prove he is capable of fatherhood Frank abruptly takes his girlfriends nephew Bo on a canoe trip that he had planned with his licentious best friend Casper. The problem is that Casper had planned this trip as a masquerade for his debaucheries, and is forced to take Bo along the trip to allay his girlfriends suspicions. Whatensues next is a series of absurd circumstances due to the crossing of paths between Franks attempt to discover fatherhood through Bo,and Caspers fervent desire to satisfy his lewdness. Clown is a dark comedy that has its heartwarming moments. It derives its hilariousness based on the misfortune and absurdity of its characters, especially Frank and Casper. If you think that a movie should leave some lines untouched no matter how hilarious the context maybe then you shouldn't watch it. Its a very difficult movie to recommend or watch with someone,especially in America. To put it in some perspective, if you take a movie like "Big Daddy" and turn it to a Mature Audience (MA) dark comedy road trip movie,then you will get something remotely close to Klown. So,if you think that comedy can cross lines based on the context, are willing to sit through some moments that might disgust one part of you and make the other half snigger, you should watch Klown.
This is perhaps the most offensive film I have ever seen. I love a good sex comedy, and some raunchy comedies, but this film makes a joke out of sexual assault, child abuse and other behaviors which are simply not funny. Instead of finding humor in our common foibles, it rubs our faces in the most depraved, anti-social and cruel behavior.I was perhaps alone in the packed movie house in which I saw the film. The rest of the audience loved it, including my brother-in-law, so clearly I am in the minority. As a filmmaker myself I know how hard it is to hold an audience's attention, so something has been accomplished here. But I cannot recommend against seeing this film strongly enough. It took me days to get rid the sick feeling it left in me.
The film is about Frank; a gullible and dim man who is trying to prove to his girlfriend that he has what it takes to parent a child. A series of events unfold and Frank ends up looking after a 12 year old boy and taking him on a "lads camping holiday". He sees this as his chance to shine and to give the boy a fantastic father like bonding holiday. However there is a festival on and a college trip full of older female students so the mans friend Casper has other ideas. This is a lads break and he will stop at nothing to enjoy it.As with most outrageously funny comedies it pushes what is acceptable and what is not to the very limit. I wont give any of the key scenes away as it would spoil the film but I will say it's is very similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm in terms of it's comic timing and style - although it steps a lot further over "the fine line" of what is "acceptable". In terms of story it's non existent and the characters are so over the top you can't really care or feel for any for them in any way. The handful of laugh out loud scenes and dialog totally make up for it and the actors deliver them perfectly.
Well I gotta say that I couldn't wait to see this movie when it came out. I became a fan of "Klovn" when I saw one of the episodes and now I have the whole series in one box. Anyway this is a review about the movie. Since I am an excessive fan of the series I had very high expectations and I mean very very high.Well the plot starts as a typical "Klovn" situation namely that Frank do something stupid so he has to do something to make up for it again (in my opinion the trademark of the series). The whole crew is back and it is always a good thing since it wouldn't have worked if any of the main characters were played by other actresses or actors.Now I have to say the movie satisfied all my expectations and then much, much more!! This is the funniest movie I have ever watched in my whole life and I laughed so much I probably woke up my neighbors (watched it in the middle of the night). The movie got the trademark humor from the series and funny and embarrassing moments come after another.The best part was the twists and when the movie was ending I thought there were no more surprises but I was wrong. Very wrong. The climax of the movie is in my opinion the best ever made in the comedy genre. I laughed so much that I had to struggle to catch my breath, man what a hilarious movie!!!!10/10
