Watch Anders Matthesen: ...vender tilbage For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Great Film overall

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I watched this live about a year ago, and it was worth the price of admission and more still. Right from the start, this assuages any fear that the break from stand-up has at all impacted his considerable abilities at it in a negative way. In fact, this is his best show to date. He finds the things that irritate most of us, and picks them apart with his aggressive, provocative style. And when he gets to the worst of the stuff that he deals with, that's when truly he unleashes the fury. His toying with words(including the long, always different rant, that grows in size and intricacy, that we've come to expect from these) has him speeding light-years ahead of any of his colleagues. With it, he creates new sayings that every Dane finds themselves using, typically until we hear the next batch of them. He is the voice of the disgruntled, common man, that exists in the heart of every conflict-avoiding one of us in Denmark. This time, his main themes are freedom and thinking for oneself. The verbal comedy and sophisticated cleverness knows no bounds. There is a bit of silly material, as well, and he is explicit, as he usually is when on the stage. He utilizes countless references as well, many to pop culture. It all amounts to non-stop laughing for the duration(and keep in mind, I had seen this all once before, and remembered the majority of the jokes). He is hilarious and you always get something extra, food for thought(if he does remain perhaps a tad narrow-minded on the subject of talent and following ones dreams), from his work. It's filmed and edited well. The DVD comes with 18 minutes of warm-up acts(and they are all quite good; I only recognized about half of them, but they've definitely got a future in this field), an early performance where numerous punchlines were later altered(which doesn't mean that they were poor at the time; it also has a lot of improvisation, and is really funny), a da capo and Danish subtitles. All put together, there is four hours on this disc. I believe that's hitting the upper limit. There is plentiful sexual, violent and disturbing content in this(all spoken or talked about). I recommend this to every single fan of Anden. Keep them coming, Mr. Matthesen. Mammoth. 10/10
