Max Embarrasing 2 Trailers

An amusing coming of age tale from Lotte Svendsen's Max-universe. Now 14, Max is about to decide on an internship and is finding it difficult to choose. He settles, against his mother's wishes, for a bank internship. But mother Agnethe, still quite embarrassing, takes action and enrols Max in a free spirited camp for the sake of his soul's salvation. Meanwhile his lovelife is hanging by a thread; Esther seems less and less interested in him even though he is making an effort to win her over. The Max universe is based on a perpetual idea that children are afraid to appear embarrassed as they evolve into maturity. Likewise, it seems that their parents also become embarrassed when they make attempts to protect their children or express their love for them.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The movie has a target audience at around 8-15 years old but the humor in it has qualities that adults would like.We follow the boy Max on summer camp (in danish "højskole") with his most embarrassing mother. She flunks again and again by having no sense of proper behavior whatsoever in any context she is in. She decides to bring Max with her to a summer camp filled with pseudo artists and spiritual people trying to live an authentic life in a very narcissistic manner. They could be seen as the last survivors of the hippie culture from the seventeens, but survivors that only pretend to be as their ancestors...Through Max we observe and feel his desperation to get back home to his normal teenage life. He bears his destiny with an air of resignation almost in survival mode. The story develops and with that development comes hope for Max. He finally pick up his normal life with friends, school etc.Probably many remembers a certain period of their teenage life where they considered their parents one huge embarrassment and hated the idea of becoming adults themselves. The producer writer utilizes this in a very funny way.See it if you want a funny angle on the parent/teenager theme...Regards Simon
