Now in his fifties, Vagn leads a solitary life and plays football with a group of similarly aged men, some even older. After being left behind at a petrol station by his teammates on their way to a match in Sweden, he encounters a young habitual offender and together they set off in hot pursuit of Vagn's buddies. A Nordic road movie taking in a whole series of comic, serious and, above all, well-written scenarios.

I somehow get the feeling this is not the Oldboy I was looking for :0
as i was approaching the remake of 'Oldboys' in 2009 with my young fresh eyes, i noticed that the film is lacking in depth, where the plot points and character decisions, rather than getting one involved in the story, are just used to promote the plot to the next level.
Concerning the comedy in the film it gives a varied picture, with some genuinely fun scenes in between, and classic Nordic humor that might not hit the spot with all.
Im going to say that the stars of this movie is definitely the actors personas. The cast, especially those old people on the bus, is just fantastic. Every character in this film has their own identity and the chemistry among…
not as good as the korean one. probably still better than the american one tho
Åhh myspys! Min kopp hembränt om man säger så. Av någon konstig anledning väcker dessa typer av filmer nån sorts varm känsla i kroppen. Som att man är vinfull på nån hemmafest och märker tydligt hur någon flirtar med dig. Du kan säkra det där och då, men det är skönare att vänta, så man kan känna sig önskad en liten stund till.
Slut på flammel nu är det real talk. Ikväll är det smoke off så om jag inte exposar mina känslor eller olagliga aktiviteter i nästa review fick jag psykos. Varför smoke off? Varför inte din lilla fitta!!(valleboi referens)(vem fuck sover) kompanjon bänga vill uppnö egodöd (vilket tydligen är möjligt för folk som röker med oss) så vi…
En fin lille historie med udgangspunkt i en ældre herre der er mere ensom end han lige går og tror. Han spiller, som nævnt i titlen, på et oldboys hold, hvor der ikke er den store plads til følelser mellem de maskuline gamle gutter i omklædningsrummet. Derudover har hovedpersonen Vagn heller ikke bearbejdet hans fars død.
Vagns liv tager en drastisk drejning da han bliver glemt af sine hold”kammerater” på en tankstation på vej op til en fodboldkamp i Nordsverige. Her møder han en mand ved navn John som ikke har helt rent mel i posen, hvilket Vagn på dette tidspunkt ikke ved endnu.
John beslutter sig for at kører Vagn den lange tur op til fodboldkampen hvor de får…
This is a fun Danish comedy about a quiet boring man, who is forgotten at a gas station by his oldboys soccer team as they are going to a match in Sweden. On the way he meets a criminal, who ends up helping him get to his teammates.
The story is quite good and entertaining. It is a bit silly at times, but it also has a lot of heart and drama, though it doesn’t always balance it that great.
The pacing halts a bit around the middle, but we are giving plenty of fun situations and we switch from Vagn and his soccer team often, which helps keep things moving.
It was great fun and I enjoyed the comedy,…
Nikolaj Steen er måske mest kendt for at lave musik og spille mindre roller i danske komedier, men når man har set Oldboys, så kan man undre sig over, hvorfor han kun har skrevet og instrueret denne ene film. Oldboys er nemlig en fin lille usleben diamant der tager sine karakterer seriøst, samtidig med at den griner med dem.
Vagn (Kristian Halken) bor alene og lever et stille liv. Han elsker at spille oldboys fodbold med sine venner, men på en tur til Sverige, glemmer de ham på en tankstation. Her løber Vagn ind i John (Robert Hansen), en kriminel der lige er blevet lukket ud af fængslet. De to ender lidt tilfældigt med at rejse sammen, også selvom Vagn…

Et OldBoys lag med en gjeng øl-glad pensjonister fra Danmark setter kursen mot Sverige for å spille kamp.
Hadde stortrivdes på den bussen - svært god underholdning å se en gjeng dansker kjefte og smelle på hverandre, mens de heller nedpå et par kalde, og glemmer en av lagkameratene igjen på en bensinstasjon.
Og det er nettopp det sistnevnte som er det springende punkt i denne filmen. En sjenert - og utvilsomt litt deprimert - mann, ved navn Vagn, møter en kriminell på denne bensinstasjonen;
så er filmen for alvor i gang!
En enkel film og følge, som er en god blanding av både humor,…
En god repræsentation af alt jeg hader og elsker ved gamle danske mænd.
A light hearted comedy about an elderly man who lives a solitary existence whose highlight in his life is playing in goal for his local football team, a bunch of miserable old blokes who hardly notice their team mates existence.
The film is based upon the Central character Vagn an elderly man who is quiet and reclusive leading a pretty miserable existence going on a coach trip to play a football match against a bunch of retired police officers in neighbouring Sweden.
Their coach stops at a service station in Sweden which unbeknownst to them has just been robbed and when they head off our central character Vagn gets left behind and none of his team mates notice he is…
This movie is definitely underrated. I even think it will be my new comfort movie.
I'm a sucker for road movies, especially dramedies. I know the concept isn't new but here it works well.
Harmless road movie about a mismatched couple of Danish men. A woman tags along for a large chunk, but she's not really a character as much as an object of desire for the younger man.
The older man leads a boring life where the highlight is the annual trip to play a soccer game with his team of old-timers. He goes through a bit of a tough time when he realizes that they care far less about him than he about them. The younger man is a robber with a good heart and the mind of a scholar. It's not the most believable character, but the film plays like a Kaurismäki fantasy most of the time. The crimes don't really…
