In order to prove his fatherhood potential to his pregnant girlfriend, Frank 'kidnaps' her 12-year-old nephew and tags along on his best friend Casper's debauched weekend canoe trip.
After learning that his wife is pregnant and may not keep it, Frank sets out to prove to her that he is father material, by taking her nephew, Bo, on the camping trip he set up with his best friend Christian. The trip was supposed to be the "Tour of Pussy," a weekend getaway where they can meet and bed women, so naturally Christian is opposed to bringing a child. What follows next is series of hilariously awkward moments as Christian tries to get him some and Frank tries to balance taking care of Bo while having fun.
I don't know how to explain the absurdity of Klown. It's like Curb Your Enthusiasm but with more blatant sex jokes and line pushing that we don't get in America.
Here's an example:
There's a scene in which Frank is told that he should give his wife a pearl necklace as an expression of his love. Later that night, he takes their advice, and as he's set to finish, his wife walks in, only to see him finishing on her mother.
That scene takes place near the beginning of the film but this is the type of movie it is. Awkward uncomfortable humor.
Klown, is a bit long, but most of that is the setup to another joke or fallout from the previous punchline. It really isn't the type of film you need to see twice, but despite the 2hrs, it pays off in laughs. Try to make time to watch it on a slow day.
Out of Ten? 7.5
Violence? No
Explosions? No
Nudity? Yes
