646f9e108c The last wish of the dying &quot;Monk&quot; is for his foster child, Harald, to find his real son, Ludvig. But the latter is currently in a Swedish prison cell. Peter and Martin - the two chefs - want to get him out and soon father and son meet for the first time in their lives. They get on from the word go, but now dad needs a liver transplant and Ludvig and Harald set about raising the wherewithal. Everything goes wrong when they try to rob a bank, though they meet Mille, who puts them onto a new trail, and Peter and Martin also make a contribution. However, soon they have the cops and the anti-terror corps on their tails. While the previous movie (&quot;I Kina spiser de hunde&quot;) was a sort of tribout to &quot;Pulp Fiction&quot;, celebrating the Travolta influence to film- making, this has great references to the best traditions of Danish movie-making.<br/><br/>But - let me emphazise that: … both movies are masterpieces of great entertainment by itself.<br/><br/>The surprisingly story never seizes to amaze you. But maybe I should warn you: I am 46 years old and several (if not the majority!) of my … generation… don&#39;t seem to enjoy these movies… The name &quot;Old men in new cars&quot; clearly makes you think of the expression &quot;Old wine in new bottles&quot;. In this case it is not in any negative sense - the film shows a lot of inspiration from other movies.<br/><br/>Some inspiration comes from Danish folk humor, like &quot;Olsen Banden&quot;, some come from the precursor &quot;I Kina spiser de hunde&quot;, some come from &quot;Pusher&quot; and so on.<br/><br/>Other inspiration comes from American action comedies - if you say Blues Brothers, you say car destruction and especially police car destruction in a very large scale.<br/><br/>So that&#39;s how I see the old wine in new bottles - these good old themes still work fine. By the way, that&#39;s how most sequels work …<br/><br/>There are many other quotes in the action scenes. I won&#39;t reveal them all here, but there is some hot action in the Copenhagen Airportwellin the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen (Olsen Banden quote here).<br/><br/>The characters in the movie are very one-dimensional with the potential to be one-and-a-half dimensional later on in the movie. This is also typical for action comedies, andsuch the stage is set for absurd situations with creative solutions to it.<br/><br/>Do see the moviepure slap-stick bizarre humor, no one should search for more here!
