Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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.

kdanikaa The director's work, the scenes and all of the technical stuff was just fine in my opinion; the movie has all the usual ups and downs, we get our catharsis at the right spot, and I think in a certain level the plot is expectable. Yet it caused one of the best movie experience for me so far in it's genre. And why? Through the movie I didn't get any side-thoughts but after the cast I replayed the plot in my mind and I had to see that it raises really deep questions and problems: family values, ethics in science, exclusion, discrimination.Later I also figured out that all of the brothers have the same personalities as the animals whom DNA inside theirs. Of course it's really easy to find it out afterwards, but still funny to rethink the whole movie in the sense of this fact!

kitatbro I've been anxiously awaiting the American release of Men and Chicken. Having become a huge Mads Mikkelsen fan, I've watched all of his movies I could get my hands on. As such, I've become a big fan of Danish cinema. The Danes have a really off-beat sense of humor that shines in this film. As other reviewers have said, this movie almost defies description. I will say that it's hilarious. It brought me to tears at times. The characters are quirky and unpredictable. They never cease to amaze, in more ways than one. Basically the story unites 2 sets of brothers who had never met, 2 of the brothers hoping to meet their biological father. In their own special ways, they learn from each other and enrich each others' lives. Without revealing it, there is a very interesting ending to the film. If you catch them, there are subtle clues to the ending throughout. The actors aren't afraid to make fun of themselves in both looks and actions. The dialogue is witty so read the subtitles quickly.

johnwiltshireauthor I should start off by saying that I'm not a lover of quirky movies-- art-house or indy or weird. John Wick is my favourite film. Having said that, I loved this. The film is just funny. I watched an interview with the director and he claimed it played on an "English" sense of humour. I agree. Only the English get English humour, so I'm not sure everyone would find this as amusing as I did. The comedy is in an expression or a tiny throwaway line. In some crazy ways it reminds me of The World's End, the movie with Simon Pegg about a group of ageing men trying to regain their youth. In both movies you have the leads playing it totally straight, which only goes to emphasise the utter madness going on around them (in the Simon Pegg movie it's killer robots and in Men & Chicken it's...well, men with chickens, but you get my point). We start out with two slightly odd men (Mads's character Elias in particular) only to descend step by step, when they meet their other brothers, into total madness and chaos, which only gets funnier and funnier as your basis for judging madness slips and slips. I'm not sure which scene I liked more, the trip to the kindergarten to get rehired (I wouldn't hire these men as suicide bombers let alone to work with kids) or the one to pick up "girls" in an old people's home. This is one I'll watch again.
