Just what I expected
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
In this somewhat inferior sequel the Flodder family finds itself in America, where they get into antics that are fairly identical to the ones from the original. They even end up in yet another car chase with bad guys, what are the odds? The only difference is that neither of the cars ends up in a swimming pool this time around, making the scene about a hundred times less awesome. The son isn't spying on female tennis players anymore, now he's turned to basketball. And then some crooks catch him and want to beat him up, just like in you've guessed it, the first one. There are some new jokes that work, but mostly the makers really just relied on the audience having low expectations and wanting more of the same. Which I guess isn't a particularly dumb move. If you liked the first one you'll like the sequel too, because it involves the same elements (crude jokes, action scenes, Tatjana Simic naked), but overall it seems rather phoned in.
OK, I'm going to be short on this one: it's a comedy about the Netherlands' favourite antisocial family that's sent to the United States just to get rid of them. What follows is a series of stereotypes and cliches about both the Dutch and the Americans. Those stereotypes are sometimes funny, mostly stupid and almost without any kind of subtlety. Not recommended for people with weak stomachs or any kind of sophistication, moderately enjoyable for the "average viewer"*1/2 out of **** stars
This movie was the sequel to Flodder. Flodder (part one) was a huge success in the Netherlands and everybody was eager to watch part two. So was I, but how disappointed I was, this must be one of the most "not funny" movies I've ever seen.Don't watch this movie, it sucks!
The portrayal of the characters were still too vulgar, though an improvement on the first movie.
