The story centers around the busybody housewives of a modern Danish working class neighborhood of the 1960's. A remake of the Norwegian comedy film from 1959.

Such a frustrating disappointment
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
A must see for anyone growing up in the early sixties in western Europe. This film stands out from the lot for being so ordinary - you could say it is extraordinarily ordinary. It is more than just a film, it is a picture of life as it took place around the time of production. So even if you weren't around in 1961, watch it, you might learn a good deal about life in suburban Denmark in the year 1961.
