This is one of the best Danish movies ever made. It stars some of the best Danish actors of the century - and the story it tells is known to most people. The story of some soldier buddies who don't really like soldier life, get "kicked" around by their superior officer but still enjoy life to the fullest getting the most out of their time in the army. That is just what the army is about - and this movie shows it in a really great and funny way - how to appreciate army life even though it can be quite tough at times.
