sergio-weigel I love dark, dry, and twisted humor. I love that sense of humor that appears to only reside around the North Sea (and partially in Australia to my experience). English, Danish, German - they all have a very dark, harsh sense of humor though each slightly different. The Danish always add this pinch of quirkiness and perversion to it, the English usually revolve around awkwardness, and the Germans often make it so hard that laughter gets stuck in your throat (although they suck at bringing it on screen). Toss the Germans aside for now, because this movie is a celebration of both awkward English and quirky, perverted Danish dark humor. I love it. It's simply a pleasure to watch, probably the same way some people enjoy a classical concert of some of Bach's or whatever symphonies. Though heard a thousand times by different performers, it is always a pleasure aesthetically. Like eating your favorite food dish once again.What especially pleased me was the performance of Mads Mikkelsen. I've been told that comedy is the hardest discipline in acting. Not only he, who is much rather known for very proper drama, does it perfectly well, it took me a while to even recognize him, and that is always a sign of a great actor. It reminds me of Bryan Cranston comparing his roles in Breaking Bad to Malcolm in the Middle. Brilliant acting. And funny, ow, ow, ow.A film not more than knee deep but well worth watching for the pleasure.

Filmophile This is dark comedy at its best. A macabre mix of Gothic squalor, perverted family values, hideously debased 'science' and above all, brutal but hilarious slapstick.Mads Mikkelsen's performance is outstanding but the entire cast is convincing, drawing you into their nightmare world.The setting is perfect, too – a crumbling mansion on a pancake-flat island possibly somewhere in the Kattegat and reached by a one-car ferry which only sails every few days.Despite the clowning, this film has greater depth which merits further viewing. The message is dark, satanic and disturbing – but we laugh at the pain.

kosmasp I don't even know where to begin with this. It's so far out, that if you're not expecting what is going to happen (as in not having seen the trailer or read the synopsis), you'll be blown away. Though even with some knowledge this should work wonders on ones brain. Just the fact that Mads Mikkelsen is in it, should be enough for anyone who's not familiar with the other cast members or the director to give it a go.Having said that, the humor won't be everyones taste. Actually some might not even consider many things happening as funny. They might label them with other things and words. But if you like humor that is quite quirky and weird, you will relish and cherish this. Although I wouldn't say the movie can be viewed as big twist movie, I didn't see things coming ... even the ones that were right there to put together!

krycek19 As funny as "Blinkende Lygter" (Anders Thomas Jensens directorial debut) is, it's difficult to find anything funny about this retarded turd of a movie.The movie deals with bestiality, genetic splicings of humans and animals and violence. These things would be fine in movies like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Wrong Turn" and "The hills have eyes" but not in a comedy. Me and my friend laughed a little but when the movie finally ended we were glad we had not wasted money watching it at the cinema.I can't think of a single redeeming thing to say about this braindead movie. Just avoid it. If you didn't like "Adams Æbler and "De grønne slagtere" you will definitely not like "Mænd og høns".It's funny how the professional danish movie critics always say, how movies like this one is a fresh of breath air, amongst all the serious dramas, that Denmark is mostly known for. When the truth is that movies like this one suck even more than the boring dramas and as a viewer I get the feeling that those critics have been paid by the producers of the movie to say nice things about it.Because if they really praise a movie like this they're clueless when it comes to recognizing good movies.
