Good concept, poorly executed.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This film can strictly be seen as child pornography. The girl playing the daughter in the story was only 14 at the time and is seen mostly topless. There is also a sex scene in the shower.. According to a famous Dutch lawyer you can be find with 78000 or 4 years in prison when in possession of this video The first half of this movie is quite nice. But the second half is so terrible you wished you had not seen it. The whole movie is half comedy, half drama. From the start the adult actors play comedy but the kids act very realistic, as far as the script makes it possible (which is not very far). The real stars are acting in the daughters (age 15 or 16?)t-shirt, the director has done everything to show them at their best. At least the half of her scenes "Madelon" is running around topless or in t-shirt and white panties. For certain that was one of the reasons it was such a big hit in Holland
This movie is not like other comedies, it's extremely violent, offensive and weird at times, the result is an odd comedy that has its few moments.The movie starts of quite well and has a good concept but later on the movie suddenly takes a turn and becomes even more odder and unlikely than the first halve, with the weird and sudden musical number that doesn't fit into the movie at all as the ultra lowest point of the movie. I lost all my respect and interest after that moment.But sure the movie has its moments. There are some comical and funny moments and Rijk de Gooyer plays an enjoyable character but all of that is simply not enough to save this movie.Not worth seeing.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
Ok , It's not a work of art and sure , the Dutch movie-industry has a lot more to offer than this , but we are talking about the same year that 'Police Academy' was released in the theaters.'Schatjes' and the sequel 'Mama is boos' was just one of those movies that was fun to watch, especially as a Belgian Dutch-speaking viewer. And when it comes to slapstick , I bow for the folks from the Low-lands. All WE had so far was 'Gaston en Leo' and 'Urbanus' (no offence to his one-man show talent of course).I give it a 6. My highest score in this genre.
