A trio of fun-loving Danes go against the conventional social mores and taboos in this song-and-dance-filled comedy. When a young couple invite a friend to share in their adventures, the friend seduces the woman. The songs sometimes are relevant to the plot but are often just thrown in for filler. Contains nudity and adult situations. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
