Editorial Reviews

Men & Chicken is a darkly hilarious slapstick comedy starring Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, ingeniously cast against type) about a pair of socially-challenged siblings who discover they are adopted half-brothers in their late father's videotaped will. Their journey in search of their true father takes them to the small, insular Danish island of Ork, where they stumble upon three additional half-brothers--each also sporting hereditary harelips and lunatic tendencies--living in a dilapidated mansion overrun by barn animals. Initially unwelcome by their newfound kin, the two visitors stubbornly wear them down until they're reluctantly invited to stay. As the misfit bunch get to know each other, they unwittingly uncover a deep family secret that ultimately binds them together. Directed by acclaimed, Oscar®-winning director Anders Thomas Jensen and co-starring David Dencik (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), the inventively bizarre Men & Chicken has been described as an outlandish hybrid of The Three Stooges and The Island of Dr. Moreau.

More Danish misfits!

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

Aside fro everything else, this must have been the set dresser's dream, let alone the animal wrangler's. If you can't live with subtitles, pass this up. Then there are the detailed examples of squalor, episodes of urgent masturbation, cleft lips all around, cheese making in inappropriate locations and a stork with a cleft lip and tiny little bare human feet, a corpse that has been left in repose for many years, distressing the brothers because they think that it prevents visits from girls and resulting sexual adventures. The least of it, you can be sure. Mads Mikkelsen has a perm. If you are still up for viewing this, you will probably have a good time. I did... so many moments of hilarity!

The Danish film makers are masters at comically championing the misfit. They can coax you into opening your heart to an array of individuals who have drifted beyond the edges of a workable culture. Of all that I have seen and thoroughly loved of this sort, ADAM'S APPLES-FLICKERING LIGHTS- MIFUNE'S LAST SONG, MEN AND CHICKENS brings us beyond the beyond of those edges.

Mads Mikklesen. This is another example of his very broad acting skills.

Terrific movie, funny

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Terrific movie, funny, bizarre, and underneath it all very heartwarming. It has a black sense of humor that the Danes are famous for. Mads Mikkelsen is unbelievable. Bad perm, cheesy mustache, cleft lip and a chronic masturbator, a man who wants his brother's love and a women, any women. This is the 4th film that Mads has done with writer/directer Anders Thomas Jensen and they work wonderfully together. Weird, and probably not for everyone but if you love Mads Mikkelsen you will love this movie.The man is an amazing actor, this role is so far removed from that of Hannibal Lecter it is a testimony to his acting skills. All the other Danish actors in this film are equally excellent. This movie is in Danish and has subtitles, I found watching it a second time added more to understanding the dialogue, those Danes really talk fast!

Deliciously cringey. absurd and engaging! Loved it!

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

Hilarios, but seriously Dark Humor. If you are looking for a simple Adam Sandler movie to giggle at, or a Coen brother's style gross out, this movie is not for you. If, however, you enjoy dark humor, a little schadenfreude, and some seriously cringey circumstances, then you will LOVE this film. I don't want to give anything away, but from start to finish, there are moments that seem so absurd that you can't help but laugh, yet the plot (and the storytelling itself) holds it's own, and your interest is piqued all the way until the highly improbable and gloriously insane end. Highly Recommend.

Dark, dark, very dark humor

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I absolutely loved this movie. It's the work of a genius...maybe a mad genius....but everything about it is terrific. Mads Mikkelsen is truly brilliant, as is the rest of the cast. The film starts slowly but builds to an unusual and satisfying climax, with loads of humor along the way. Of course, all the actors play the comedy as if it's a completely serious set of circumstances, which only adds to the hilarity. All of these actors are sublime, perfectly cast, beautifully photographed, and the musical score throughout is stunning. Can't recommend this film highly enough, although it's definitely not for the children in your life...nor the squeamish

Recommending to all my friends....Love this movie!

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Having just come off a marathon watch of Hannibal, I ran across this quirky Mads movie and had to watch. What a little treasure this is! It takes some getting used to but I was totally engrossed after the brothers meet each other and the fun really begins. This had a wonderful cast that gave life, grins, and solid laughs to what otherwise could have been a pretty mediocre movie. I highly recommend this movie and will be pushing it on my friends every chance I get!

Off the beaten track with Mads

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I understand why some reviewers didn't rate this movie very highly. The first 20 minutes I almost turned it off several times. Glad I persevered. It's a sad but sweet story of brotherhood and acceptance. The description for the movie said something about casting Mads against type which I thought was rather strange... what type is that? Mads has played a very broad range of characters in his career and this is just another example of his great acting capabilities. Recommended if you enjoy movies a little off the beaten track.

weird and ultimately wonderful movie. I keep thinking about it and laughing ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017

A bizarre, weird and ultimately wonderful movie. I keep thinking about it and laughing to myself wondering what off-the-hook mind came up with this premise and how they pulled it off. Mads was hilarious and all the characters really dove into their parts creating a singularly fascinating movie. Granted it's not for everyone, but was one of the first Danish films I watched and it led me to watch many more to experience the Dane's particular sense of humor and pathos.

Call me Al

There’s no place like this home

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Without giving too much away about this decidedly bizarre darkly absurdist comedic Danish film, it is definitely a movie which must be approached with an open mind since its combination of slapstick, philosophy and horror is a challenging experience, to say the least. There is a deadpan macabre humour running through every scene, where Young Frankenstein meets The League of Gentlemen turned up way past eleven. The narrative follows the quest of two socially challenged middle-aged brothers who travel to a small remote island searching for their biological parents after discovering that they were adopted and that their father is a geneticist specializing in stem cell research, where they meet members of their estranged extended family who live in a dilapidated mansion overrun by barn animals. The ensemble acting is excellent with some familiar names and faces (behind the prosthetic makeup) such as Mads Mikkelsen, Soren Malling and Nikolaj Lie Kaas and despite the film’s surface grotesqueness it has a surprising underlying tenderness. Oddly compelling and repulsive at the same time and certainly one of a kind. It’s your choice whether you decide to enter this particular rabbit hole.

Unusual but worthwhile

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

This movie will not be to everyones taste. It is at times gross, crude and borderline offensive but at others it is darkly funny and quite thought provoking. For fans of other nordic noir commedies, notably "Green Butchers" this will be a hit and its quirky characters and storyline will appeal. Others will struggle with the storyline but i think will still largely view the film positively. For this reviewer the film was at times slightly uncomfortable but ultimately a worhwhile and enjoyable watch.

Not great. It's started a bit like a Danish version ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2017

Not great. It's started a bit like a Danish version of 'Little Britain' but what makes you laugh to start with becomes quickly irritating due to endless repetitions. However, I'm sure it must have been hilarious to play for the actors involved in the movie.

A very strange movie... the only reason I bought the dvd was because of Mads Mikkelsen. In retrospect, I would classify this film under the
Horror title. I was weird indeed. See it at your peril.

The joke wore thin after about an hour

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2017

I laughed quite a lot at this quirky and eccentric film for about an hour but after that it ran out of steam. Despite its intellectual pretensions it's rather a thin and flaccid experience. Island of Dr Moreau meets Monty Python.
