What to Know

Critics Consensus

Klown will go too far for many viewers, but anyone with a fondness for seriously dark, aggressive, and overall inappropriate humor may find it impossible to resist.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian In its cheerfully offensive and bizarre way, Klown is often funny. Rated: 3/5 Dec 5, 2013 Full Review Jason Ward Little White Lies Aside from its standout scenes Klown is underpowered, content to coast on the easy chemistry between its leads. Rated: 2/5 Dec 5, 2013 Full Review Tom Huddleston Time Out A grim, desperately unfunny parade of dick jokes, masturbation jokes, dick jokes, paedophilia jokes, dick jokes, rape jokes, gay jokes and dick jokes Rated: 1/5 Dec 2, 2013 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Daft, but a laugh a minute, Klown's potent mix is funny in any language. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2021 Full Review Rita Cannon Battleship Pretension Klown finds itself in the strange position of being kind of groundbreaking and kind of tired at the same time. It takes dark, awkward, character-based humor to new heights...a series of bizarre comic set pieces that will forever raise the bar... Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com There's never a dull moment in Klown, which ends as quickly as it begins, on a deliriously high note like an exhilarating ride you want to repeat immediately after it ends.

saul e Possibly my favourite comedy. The humour might not be for all but it's my cup of tea. The lead actor is a loveable cowardly fool that just had me crying with laughter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/22 Full Review Audience Member The funniest dark comedy ever, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member "I'd love to be a sex tourist in my own country." - Frank Best friends Frank and Casper embark on a sex tour turned canoeing trip with 12-year-old Bo in tow. This marked the first feature-length escapade spun from the popular Danish sitcom of the same name. Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen have a deranged repertoire that they've developed over the years. The inappropriate hijinks are hilarious and shocking even if this ultimately feels like an episode spread too thin. If nothing else, it's illuminating to see this breed of Danish comedy, which go places that would never fly in the United States. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Täysin häpelemätön, härski komedia. Hyvin tämän kanssa viihtyi tehokkaat 90min. Kaikkea muuta kuin peruskomediaa :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's obviously not for everyone movie. But if you like a dark comedy genre you will enjoy it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Contains sexuality. Funny foreign film. Not bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
