⭐ Featured Review

Good acting, poor script!
by MinorityReporter2005-10-10
6/10

"Many people have said that Solkongen is one of the funniest films of 2005 and it was with that in mind that I sat down the other night to see the film. Expecting some big laughs. They didn't really come, however. They did occur but they didn't come as often as I had hoped. The story is fairly simple and this works fine. The characters are card board characters. You immediately see who is who and what the individual's goals are and this provides for a somewhat predictable narrative structure. In fact a little bit too simple. The always good Nikolaj Lie Kaas is the main character..."
