Its deliberate aversion to good taste is the biggest gag of all, and the source of its claim to infamy; yet running beneath the grossness, and the calamitous bonhomie, is a quiet streak of despair. Anthony Lane-New Yorker
It can seem sometimes that Hollywood has a monopoly on stupid, obnoxious comedy. Anyone who sees "Klown" will learn otherwise. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe
Think of all the gags you think might go too far, and then watch as Nørgaard takes them even further. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Ultra-raunchy, sometimes hilarious... Lou Lumenick-New York Post
At its best, it's a sly dismantling of a familiar comedy template built on male cluelessness and female responsibility. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times
It's actually rather sweet, in its raunchy way. Neil Genzlinger-New York Times
Each and every situation here is designed to make viewers squirm -- and, as a side effect, laugh out of shock and discomfort. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
A raunchy shock comedy through and through, one in which nearly every major laugh involves, in one way or another, male genitalia. Or, in one case, an index finger. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
There are certainly laughs to be had here, but maybe Klown was more effective (and funnier) in thirty-minute doses on TV than dragged out to feature length. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity
Klown is another comedy that wrings most of its laughs from the premise that in the absence of a civilizing female presence males are apt to revert to despicable and idiotic behavior. Brent Simon-Shockya.com
[It's] ridiculously raunchy yet also remains relatively heartfelt. Joseph J. Airdo-San Francisco Examiner
The degree of difficulty is very high with this uncomfortable comedy. I cringed with laughter throughout. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review
Raunchy, awkward, over-the-top and fun. Will McCord-Paste Magazine
Great Danes 'Klown' Around James Verniere-Boston Herald
It isn't art, it's will-o-the-wisp thin, but it might well make you squirt your soda through your nose. Shawn Levy-Oregonian
Denmark's answer to Curb Your Enthusiasm, with vestiges of Dogme 95. Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
The screenplay wades through a stream of absurd situations during the trip, but they're treated with an earnest, understated hand that keeps the focus on the characters. Robert Levin-amNewYork
At some point, someone will write the history of this modern comedy of the uncomfortable, and when they do, I hope they devote an entire chapter to 'Klown.' Drew McWeeny-HitFix
KLOWN may not necessarily garner Casper and Frank too many new fans, yet it will most likely please the target audience with its raunchy and sardonic humor. JimmyO-JoBlo's Movie Emporium
A distinctive sense of comedy that fans of the 'Hangover' and 'Jackass' movies should appreciate. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net
Frank and Casper (the characters and the writers both) err by devoting themselves to building up these sorry specimens of masculinity rather than deconstructing them to see what makes them tick -- or throb, as the case may be. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Klovn is something like Sideways, with prostitutes and cheap hookups taking the place of Pinot Noir Jordan Hoffman-About.com
