Jagtsæson 2 - I Medgang og Modgang (2024) - Game stars salvage unbrilliant sequel

 

Ridiculous disbelief is painted across co-star Mille Dinesen's face on this poster for Peter Molde-Amelung's Jagtsæson 2 - I Medgang og Modgang

Eva is feeling like a failure due to being a divorced mother, who has just been rejected at a much hoped-for job interview, when she learns that planning her friend Bella's bachelor party might put her back on track for the job.

 

Jagtsæson 2 - I Medgang og Modgang is written by Claudia Boderke and Lars Mering (Far til Fire på Toppen (2017), both) and directed by Peter Molde-Amelung (Jomfruer fra Rummet (2023)). It is the sequel to Tilde Harkamp's Jagtsæson (2019). The original Danish title translates to, 'hunting season 2 - in good times and bad'.

There are elements that need to be overlooked in the plot here throughout: Why does Eva fail to get any job? What is her line of work? Why is this organically/woke-obsessed company job so desirable for her? And, as a side issue, why is she so poorly dressed in every scene in the film? Later other questions may pop up, but for the sake of trying to enjoy the comedy, you should try to ignore these speculations.

The star trio, Mille Dinesen (Swinger (2016)), Lærke Winther (Mødregruppen (2019)) and Stephania Potalivo (Løbeklubben (2018, miniseries)) are back, and they constitute the major reason to check into this low-flying, rackety follow-up. Jagtsæson 2 - I Medgang og Modgang has neither a script nor a direction worthy of much praise, so one must hope for a better situation in the sure-to-come next sequel of the popular movies.
