Watch Miss Minoes For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Redundant and unnecessary.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

All in all it is one of the most awful movies I have yet seen. Acting, bad; directing, bad; SGI BAD; dubbing, horrible. First, story in the book might have made sense, but this movie had no story line that could been followed. Catwoman appears at a creepy guy's shabby place (creepy guy, because his only friend is the landlady's 12 year old daughter). Actor of the main guy could not make me like him in this role no matter what. Just simply creepy. The dubbing was like a Japanese movie parody. Mouths and speech was off sync. Catwoman (actress allergic to cats) trying to imitate a feline, but even tho she has charm, she has no cat quality to her. There is no real plot other than trying to unmask the baddie and collecting cat gossip in the town. If you have seen Cats and Dogs you might expect better animal SGI. The cats in most part looked like worn out shabby stuffed toys, even the real live kittens looked like their furs were matted and mangy. The mouth animation was so painfully awful it made me cringe. Cats and Dogs, came out the same time had much higher standards. The the motion of the puppets was choppy and unrealistic. Instead of watching this movie try do somethings else, you never gonna get back that hour and a half. Never.

Carice van Houten, now famous for her role in Zwartboek, is a great actress and knows how to get her audience's attention. In Minoes, she is a very sweet and fun girl and together with Theo Maassen she really put together a lovely movie. Though not more than 1 hour of entertainment, this movie is something you could watch over and over and over again. Why? It's lighthearted, very funny and brings out the genius that was Annie M.G. Schmidt, who wrote the story years ago. The power of this movies is also the voices of the cats. Famous Dutch people like Wim T. Schippers, a.k.a. Ernie (Bert and Ernie), and Hans Teeuwen, a renowed Dutch comedian make funny jokes all the time and besides it's really fun to hear someone be a cat. If you enjoyed this movie, I highly recommend Ja Zuster, Nee Zuster, which has a similar class and quality. Go ahead and watch them and have a great time!

I love this Dutch film in any way possible. It has charm, it is funny and sweet and most of all it is heartwarming. It starts with a simple premise. A cat changes into a young woman because she eats from some chemical stuff in a barrel. She, Minoes (Carice van Houten), is allowed to stay with Tibbe (Theo Maassen). He is a reporter who is about to get fired but since Minoes can help him with some news which she hears from other cats, she saves his job. They make a deal. She can stay, but she must provide Tibbe with some news.Mr. Ellemeet (Pierre Bokma) is the hero of the town. He seems to be a very good man but Minoes and the other cats slowly discover that he is not that good after all. Now the shy Tibbe wants to help the cats and expose Mr. Ellemeet but he has no prove besides the stories of cats. Minoes, the other cats and a girl named Bibi (Sarah Bannier) who lives next door come up with a plan to help Tibbe.The simple story is based on a novel written by Annie M.G. Schmidt, who was and is probably the most read author for children books in The Netherlands. Although it is quite simple it has so many nice touches you almost forget the simplicity. The nice little touches deal with Minoes who has a struggle with herself. She is a cat but slowly becomes a human being. The hunger for fish and birds and the need to climb trees when dogs are near are those little nice things.Carice van Houten plays her part extremely well. It may seem pretty easy what she does but that is only because of her. Theo Maassen finds the right note for his character as well and Pierre Bokma is a good villain. The performances are good and it looks very good as well, exactly the way a movie like this should look. The movie is perfect for children and I think that adults will have at least the same amount of fun. There is simply nothing wrong with this movie considering it is for the whole family. If you want to see a great family film, try this Dutch little treasure.Note: A nice fact is that Jan Roelfs is the co-producer. He was Oscar-nominated as the production designer for 'Orlando' and 'Gattaca' and is the production designer for the upcoming 'Alexander' from Oliver Stone.

there is nothing more to say, it ìs simply great: good story, good actors, straightforward and heartwarming... Carice van Houten is an ideal Minoes, Thea Maassen is a believeable Tibbe, the cats are welltrained and the voices are wellcast, the atmosphere of it all is simple, typical Dutch...
