Klown (Danish: Klovn - The Movie) is a 2010 Danish comedy film starring Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen and directed by Mikkel Nørgaard.
It was developed from the successful Danish TV sitcom Klovn, in which Hvam and Christensen play fictionalized versions of themselves.

The movie premiered in Denmark 16 December 2010 and managed, during the two remaining weeks of December, to become the most watched Danish movie of 2010.
By February 2011 Klown had sold 848.500 total tickets in a nation with a population of 5.5 million, a figure comparable to the comedy films of Susanne Bier and Lone Scherfig 10 years earlier.

The movie had its North American premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal in July 2011, where it won the Cheval Noir award.
The film was also shown in the United States at the Fantastic Fest where it won as best picture and best screenplay in the Gutbuster comedy feature category.
In the autumn of 2011 it was sold for distribution in the United States to Drafthouse Films and 27 July 2012 it was given a small release to US cinemas in Los Angeles, New York and Austin as well as being available through video on demand services.
The following weeks it expanded to several other theaters throughout the US.

The comedy is based on "uncomfortable" humor featuring self-satire and humorous treatment of taboos.
Reviews would often compare it to The Hangover and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Warner Bros. has bought the rights to remake Klown with Todd Phillips named as a possible director with Danny McBride to star.

The owner of an IT company wishes to sell it. But, for years, he has pretended that the real boss lives in America and communicates with the staff only by e-mail. That way, all the unpopular decisions can be attributed to the absentee manager, while all the popular ones to him directly. But now, the prospective buyer insists on meeting the big boss in person. In a panic, the owner hires a failed, over-intellectualizing actor to portray this imaginary boss, and the actor proceeds to improvise all his lines, to the consternation of both the buyer and the company staff, who finally get to meet their ghostly boss.

35 réalisateurs d'origines très variées (25 pays différents) ont tous mis en scène un court métrage de 3 minutes, sur le thème de la salle de cinéma. Le film en regroupe 33 puisque les frères Coen et les frères Dardenne travaillent ensemble. Celui de David Lynch ne faisait pas partie du film mais a été présenté en ouverture du festival.
