Terkel in Trouble (2010)

This movie is great political, and has a deep point. But i could not stop laughing. Felix Herngren (Swedish dub) does all characters so good (he does all character by him self). And i am regularly against dubbing but this is really good work, and you get the point anyway. I highly recommend it! The songs they sing is really good work and is now very popular by kids in sixth grade (this movie is about sixth graders) but even if they don't get the point they seem to enjoy it and thats why this is a good family movie. But don't let to small children see it when it contains some material that can hurt. But i recommend you to See it and use the dubbing of your country and have a good time...

Now, this is probably only the second time I've been so infuriated with a film that I felt the need the write something about it. Normally, if a film is rubbish there are plenty of reviews that will back up my thoughts and I can feel better about myself. But when I read the reviews on here saying it's the best thing sliced bread, I felt I didn't have a choice.I came across this film when my house mate had read a very positive review in a film magazine (I won't say which one, but you will TOTALly know what FILM magazine I mean). I decided to give it a chance, being a fan of crude jokes and animation but I was severely let down on both points. And a heap load more as well.When I first switched it on, I could just about put up with the dodgy, and to be honest, crass animation. (I mean, was some college kid doing his A Level Media Studies in charge or something?) What really drove me mad was the voice of Turkel though. Now, I know I'm only talking about the English Version here, and I haven't seen the original (nor do I have any intention of doing so), but what the hell was Adrian Edmondson doing with Turkel's voice? No wonder he was getting bullied. Swinging a bag of cats against the wall would have sounded better. What's the point of having a film where, as an audience member, you can't sympathise or even feel anything for the main character? They might as well have had a stick in Turkel's place. The performance wouldn't have been so wooden then.The film had no plot. Basically stuff happened and someone happened to be there to record it. You get better videos on youtube. The jokes were so far and few between you needed a map and compass to find them. And when you did find them, it was Dad saying 'No' every time. Side splitting stuff, I can tell you. I found funnier stuff at the bottom of my garden underneath a rock. The use of swearing was misused. You can't just try and put in a load of swear words to make something funny.The only highlight in the whole sorry affair was Johnny Vegas. Playing the role he so easily plays in all his acting roles: the Drunk. Now, I don't know about you, but it's hardly a stretch for him is it? It's like asking Hugh Grant to play the bumbling Englishman. Good performances, but not really pushing themselves are they?I seriously don't understand how people can rave about this film. It's like the whole thing was made by 12 and 13 year olds, who had eaten too much sweets and told to make a film about bullying with lots of swearing. I'm not saying the F word isn't funny. It is, but not when you beat the audience over the head with it about a thousand times a minute.

I am astonished that this film gets such favourable reviews on IMDb. It is one of the worst films I have ever seen and one of only three that I have walked out of before the end. I saw the English language version at a screening room in London with seven others. It's difficult to know where to start the criticism - but how about the non-moving plot; the deeply grating, irritating characters (so he has a dad who only says one word - 'no' - ha ha very funny); the sick, repellent detail; the stupid, pitiful songs; the lack of any sort of sympathy. It could be that the humour simply doesn't translate for a non Danish or non European audience, and that's the understatement of the year. I can't imagine how anyone in Britain could want to watch this for more than three minutes. The only plus is the slick computer animation. But who really gives a damn about that when the script is such utter, utter, UTTER drivel.

Being an Italian i've never heard about Terkel and all the others crazy characters. I've seen the movie 'cause i like twisted computer graphic movies, and i can say i've laughed a lot! Terkel end his friends are funny, the cartoon is like a mix of nasty moments inspired by great and famous series like "The Simpsons" or "South Park". The plot was a little dumb, but with a touch of mystery! But who cares about the plot when you can see funny moments a LOT of dirty language (just hear the old sailor, the uncle of Terkel... or his friend Jason, always walking around with a crowbar in his jeans...). This is a fresh and funny movie, ABSOLUTELY NOT for children!
