Ole Christian Madsen, the Danish director, wandered into the comedy genre in his sixth film. Christian is a Danish wine seller, and, above all, a really unlucky chap whose wife replaced him with the Argentinean football star, Juan Diaz. Christian comes with his son to Buenos Aires pretending that he wants to divorce while he actually hopes to win his wife's heart back. Comedic situations are based on contrasts between the individual nationalities: Coldblooded Dane explores the Latino lifestyle in sunny South America. Will Christian manage to put down the Argentinean stud? (Febiofest)

Two reasons for watching the movie SuperClásico; one, it’s a Danish movie and two, it briefly includes a soccer environment. It’s not very Clásico, but it’s pleasant to watch. The actors are incredibly laid back, which is a huge upside. I’m mainly giving it three stars because the entire movie is just a classic comedy. It’s very cookie-cutter. But some of the moments made me think that this movie was worth the watch and it fulfilled its purpose as a comedy.

Terrible crap. A spirited tribute to southern blood and Argentine culture - in fact a film full of wooden-staged clichés, affected idiots and motifs that completely fade out into nothing (the old winemaker). In addition, there are a handful of superficial stereotypes without realism and magic. Madsen tries really hard, but comedy requires lightness, not a relentless pursuit of variety, and an annoying narrator who recites what doesn't work on the screen.

Danes in Buenos Aires? Danes in Buenos Aires. So why not have some fun at the expense of winemakers, soccer players, and classic love polygons? I hope that if I ever live to be 70, I'll look like Adriana Mascialino.
