5/10

The acting talent make it just minorly watchable, but <em>'Shake It All About'</em> doesn't have much else going for it. Mads Mikkelsen, Troels Lyby and Charlotte Munck are the standouts when it comes to the actors, I can't really fault them with their performances - all perfectly fine. It's very much the story and the (poor) way it is written that is this 2001 film's issue. The plot is simply a bit rubbish (and even problematic), with any attempt to add flair falling flat. Danish and American viewers, among a couple of others according to <em>JustWatch</em>, seem to have this release openly available to watch, though here in the UK it is nowhere to be seen officially (unless you wanna fork out £28.98 for the DVD on Amazon 🥴)... probably for the best.
