Prepare yourself for beautiful set and costume design based on Queen Margrethe's artwork and excellent Danish humor.
To respond to a few other reviews: no, Danes are not upset that the queen spent so much time on this film. We are proud of her work in the arts and feel that it is part of what makes her human, relatable, and giving back to society. We enjoy when our royal family are approachable and part of society, and not just locked up in a castle detached from the rest of the world.
Also the nudity in the film is quite normal by Danish standards. It is not crude but rather artistic.
Some of the jokes are crude by American standards, but that is also normal in Denmark. It all dances on a fine line. Sexuality is not taboo in Denmark.
I invite people to watch this with an open mind. It is a comedy. So it is exaggerated and ridiculous compared to true high society, yet even as a comedy there are elements of truth to it. The cultural context of the film, and the book it is based on, influence the characters, settings, actions, story line, etc. And thus do reflect a Danish psyche that is far more light hearted that it has typically been judged to be.
I believe it can serve as great cultural insight, and if not then some great viewing, good laughs, and lots of surprises throughout the story.
The story telling is atypical - even if the story itself and plot aren't particularly unheard of - which makes it a nice little treat.
