Really Surprised!
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Or, Ernst, Bobbie and the wicked Onix as the international title might go. Onix is a bad guy. He wants to chop down a forest and build a tarmac factory on the spot. His further plans include putting the whole of The Netherlands and Belgium under a layer of tarmac. Needless to say, Ernst and Bobbie don't agree. So the adventure is on.Played with the characters that normally play the TV-series this film is fun for the children that like the series, and pretty watchable for their parents/guardians. Personally I found it a rather bad film - not very stable and with a lot of plot holes, but it's a children's film, so what do you want? It was also rather short - can't have been more than 80 minutes.All in all I think these guys should stick to TV-series and theater shows and not hit the cinema. It just doesn't work for them. Too many holes, too many things lacking to make it good cinema material, even for a children's film.4 out of 10 TV-series turned into bad films.
