Though done in a seemingly family-friendly visual style with outwardly
adorable CG-animated characters (its trailer sarcastically boasted,
"Eureka proudly presents the cutest family film of the year"), this
English-language production from Denmark travels the
South Park and
Meet the Feebles route. In other words, directors
Stefan Fjeldmark,
Kresten Vestbjerg Andersen, and
Thorbjørn Christoffersen
contrast the movie's innocent appearance with the crude, violent, and
occasionally gory antics of its nutty characters, to ironic (and blackly
comic) effect. The story concerns Terkel, a sixth-grade pariah who gets
taunted and tormented by two relentless bullies, until he figures out a
cunning way to vent his rage by poking fun at his best friend's obese
girlfriend. She responds by jumping out a window to her death, but this
has the unforeseen effect of increasing Terkel's popularity. Terkel
takes to chugging booze and wielding firearms, and life seems like it
couldn't get any better. But when he begins receiving bizarre anonymous
death threats, and finds that he can't confide in his obnoxious sister
or drunken uncle, he's forced to turn to his stoned-out hippie teacher
for solace and direction.
