    First, I don't think anyone should ever review a film they didn't watch. As for the film, this movie is HILARIOUS and features some of Denmark's most talented actors. The Green Butchers is a dark comedy and is entirely in Danish (you will need to use subtitles). As for dubbing, I really hope they don't start dubbing every foreign film just because some people are too lazy to read. If you don't like subtitles that's fine...don't rent foreign films.

    Interesting how the people who does not like this movie, dislike simply due to the fact that they have to read to understand it.... The movie is based on irony and dark/black humor, which is typically danish... For those of you who happen to like this kind of humor I suggest : "Flickering Lights" it stars some of the same cast members and is by my rating even better than the "green butchers"..

    As skeptical as i was about renting this, it had me cracking up the whole way through. Its a very dark, yet clever movie that provoked some laughs. The idea is one that has been breached upon in a few other films, yet this is its own movie in its own right.
