A popular but troubled sixth-grader confides in a hippie teacher after he receives strange death threats.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

Amateurish on many levels and at some point seeming to have been made up on the spot (which would be quite a feat for animation) ... a strong contender for the year's worst film, and not in a fun way.

Film Journal International

The Trouble with Terkel is not only destined to be 2017's worst film, but it also stands as one of the most singularly awful and incompetent productions in cinema history.

Cinema Crazed

It's a miserable, long, abomination and a contender for the worst movie of 2017.

Boxoffice Magazine

This film about an unhappy childhood is amusingly full of odd behavior, violence, profanity and a decapitation or two.

Rated: 3/5

Like South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut by way of Copenhagen, or old school Looney Tunes after doing one too many bong hits, Terkel in Trouble is terrific.

Rated: 4/5

Underrated comedy about a funny gang of youths. Twisted humor for open minded people. Recommended by me.

Annoying presenter, but amusing foul-mouthed characters in the style of South Park and Fanboy & Chum Chum. 6.3/10.

If you are not danish you wont understand the dark humor and the actual deep meaning in the movie. Anders Matthesen uses sarcasm and irony to explain how some children are living. simply a masterpiece and a danish classic.

To be honest this is a bad movie. But i think that alot of americans miss the point. It is supposed to be a random and fun movie with stupid charecters that pokes fun at the children movies that was being made in Denmark at that time. I also think that this film came out at the wrong time in the US and other countries and not in 2004 like in Denmark where it has a vult status.
