Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies: ...a reasonably enjoyable and not entirely dumb raunch comedy of awkwardness until it disastrously overplays its hand in the final two minutes. Read more

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: It's actually rather sweet, in its raunchy way. Read more

Noel Murray, AV Club: Whenever Klown hits, it's hysterical. Read more

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Think of all the gags you think might go too far, and then watch as Norgaard takes them even further. Read more

Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: It can seem sometimes that Hollywood has a monopoly on stupid, obnoxious comedy. Anyone who sees "Klown" will learn otherwise. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Essentially, this is a Scandinavian version of The Hangover, but maybe the planned American remake won't pretend to be something it's not. Read more

William Goss, Film.com: Anyone in the market for a good dose of bad taste should make a point of checking this out. Read more

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter: Story of a man's ill-concieved attempt to prove his merit as a father benefits from Frank Hvam's dry comic performance. Read more

Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: At its best, it's a sly dismantling of a familiar comedy template built on male cluelessness and female responsibility. Read more

Anthony Lane, New Yorker: Its deliberate aversion to good taste is the biggest gag of all, and the source of its claim to infamy; yet running beneath the grossness, and the calamitous bonhomie, is a quiet streak of despair. Read more

Chase Whale, Film.com: KLOWN is a one of the most comically aggressive films you will ever see. Read more

Joel Arnold, NPR: Klown feels instantly fresh, taking bold chances with its characters and gags that pay off in uproariously funny and sometimes heartrending moments. Read more

Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Ultra-raunchy, sometimes hilarious... Read more

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 Read more

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: The comedy is dark in ways that Hollywood won't ever touch. Read more

Robert Koehler, Variety: Mikkel Norgaard serves up an edgy brew that skewers just about everything Danish in sight, including the Dogma style of cinema, which comes off as increasingly passe. Read more

Nick Schager, Village Voice: Raunchy dude comedy is hardly the sole province of American cinema, as Klown all too dispiritingly reconfirms. Read more
