Easy Skanking (2006)
6/10
An attempt at Tarantino in danish.
1 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Take a bunch of the characters from the Tarantino movie Jackie Brown, put them in a social realistic setting and add melodrama, comedy and a lot of vulgar jokes and you get this movie... - The thing is that a lot of the vulgar jokes probably looses a lot in translation, so foreign audiences are left with a very weird view of Danes, since the satirical elements (e.g. nudges at the hippie commune Christiania and the various egoistic family solutions) will get lost. Another problem is that the acting is uneven - Danish rap-star Jesper "The Joker" Dahl is hilarious as the psychopath "Samuel L. Jackson" character and Lene Maria Christensen is cute and bubbly as the blonde "Bridget Fonda" character. The rest is somewhere between folksy and overacting or under acting... If you have seen Jackie Brown and would like a different take then this might be fun - otherwise avoid. NB the vulgarity is all in the language - no blood or violence - it is all in good fun.
